The Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block (U+2980–U+29FF) contains miscellaneous mathematical symbols, including brackets, angles, and circle symbols. Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B [1] Official Unicode Consortium code chart (PDF)
Primarily for compatibility with earlier character sets, Unicode contains a number of characters that compose super- and subscripts with other symbols. [1] In most fonts these render much better than attempts to construct these symbols from the above characters or by using markup.
The following table lists many specialized symbols commonly used in modern mathematics, ordered by their introduction date. The table can also be ordered alphabetically by clicking on the relevant header title.
Exponentiation is written as b n, where b is the base and n is the power; often said as "b to the power n ". [1] When n is a positive integer , exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [ 1 ] b n = b × b × ⋯ × b × b ⏟ n times . {\displaystyle b^{n}=\underbrace ...
In algebraic number theory the n-th power residue symbol (for an integer n > 2) is a generalization of the (quadratic) Legendre symbol to n-th powers. These symbols are used in the statement and proof of cubic , quartic , Eisenstein , and related higher [ 1 ] reciprocity laws .
A power symbol is a symbol indicating that a control activates or deactivates a particular device. Such a control may be a rocker switch , a toggle switch , a push-button , a virtual switch on a display screen, or some other user interface.
As of Unicode version 16.0, there are 155,063 characters with code points, covering 168 modern and historical scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets.This article includes the 1,062 characters in the Multilingual European Character Set 2 subset, and some additional related characters.
The power set of the set of natural numbers can be put in a one-to-one correspondence with the set of real numbers (see Cardinality of the continuum). The power set of a set S, together with the operations of union, intersection and complement, is a Σ-algebra over S and can be viewed as the prototypical example of a Boolean algebra.
