How can I get better math characters?
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Math Help
I answer a lot of math questions, so I like to be able to type things like x² or √x rather than the more common x^2 and sqrt(x). I find that it makes my answer MUCH more readable. Unfortunately, I have trouble locating/using non-unicode characters. I tried getting some from the Symbols font using Windows charmap, but they pasted in wrong. Symbols I’d like to have (and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen…)
Integral
For All
There Exists
Negation
Element Of
Such That
To the x
To the 4th
4/3
To the -1

Anything else that might reasonably be useful.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, but I already KNOW how to get unicode characters.
These include
²√ª¬½¼«»αßΓπΣσµτΦΘ
Ωδ∞φε∩≡±≥≤⌠⌡÷≈°∙·ⁿ¹³
⅓⅔⅛⅜⅝⅞→º
This is why I specified the non-unicode chars I’m most interested in…
The “such that” symbol as I was taught it is the “element of” symbol backwards.
