There are three methods for displaying formulas in Wikipedia: raw HTML, HTML with math templates (abbreviated here as { {math}}), and a subset of LaTeX implemented with the HTML markup <math></math> (referred to as LaTeX in this article).
The Supplemental Mathematical Operators block (U+2A00–U+2AFF) contains various mathematical symbols, including N-ary operators, summations and integrals, intersections and unions, logical and relational operators, and subset/superset relations.

The lemniscate has been a common decorative motif since ancient times; for instance, it is commonly seen on Viking Age combs. [4] The English mathematician John Wallis is credited with introducing the infinity symbol with its mathematical meaning in 1655, in his De sectionibus conicis. [5] [6] [7] Wallis did not explain his choice of this symbol.
A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...
Corner quotes, also called “Quine quotes”; for quasi-quotation, i.e. quoting specific context of unspecified (“variable”) expressions; [3] also used for denoting Gödel number; [4] for example “⌜G⌝” denotes the Gödel number of G. (Typographical note: although the quotes appears as a “pair” in unicode (231C and 231D), they ...
MathTime[ 1] (sometimes MathTıme) is a Times-style mathematical typeface for TeX, created by Michael Spivak. MathTime has been widely adopted by academic publishers such as by Elsevier, [ 2] the American Physical Society, [ 3] the Mathematical Association of America, [ 4] and Springer. [ 5] A distinguishable symbol in this font is the integral ...
Use in mathematics. In mathematics, the null sign (∅) denotes the empty set. Note that a null set is not necessarily an empty set. Common notations for the empty set include " {}", "∅", and " ". The latter two symbols were introduced by the Bourbaki group (specifically André Weil) in 1939, inspired by the letter Ø in the Danish and ...
Typographical symbols and punctuation marks are marks and symbols used in typography with a variety of purposes such as to help with legibility and accessibility, or to identify special cases. This list gives those most commonly encountered with Latin script. For a far more comprehensive list of symbols and signs, see List of Unicode characters.
