Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols

Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics. By providing uniformity over numerous mathematical articles and books, these conventions help to read mathematical formulas. These also may be used to differentiate between concepts that share a letter in a single problem.

Tables of styled letters and digits
These tables show all styled forms of Latin and Greek letters, symbols, and digits in the Unicode Standard. The first column labelled as "serif normal" is in fact non-symbol letters from the Plane_(Unicode)#Basic_Multilingual_Plane|. These will not have serifs if the font is non-serif, this table selects a serif font for them. In most cases the code point is the sum of the index number on the left and the number at the top of the column. Pink and yellow cells and '-' index indicates this rule does not apply. Latin letters The 24 characters with are not in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, but instead in the letterlike symbols block, for example, ℛ () is at U+211B rather than the expected U+1D4AD which is reserved. In the code charts for the Unicode Standard, the reserved code points corresponding to the pink cell are annotated with the name and code point of the correct character. There are a few characters which have names that suggest that they should belong in the tables below, but in fact do not because their official character names are misnomers: • ; "despite its character name, this symbol is derived from a special italicized version of the small letter l". It has various other specialized uses, such as a liter symbol and as the azimuthal quantum number symbol. • is a symbol for Weierstrass's elliptic function. It is officially aliased as . Greek letters and symbols Digits Glyph variants Variation selectors may be used to specify chancery (U+FE00) vs roundhand (U+FE01) forms, if a computer font is available that supports them: ==Chart for the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block==
