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. For other languages and symbol sets (especially in mathematics and science), see below
However, many readers find this confusing, as the indentation makes it look more like a continuation of the last sublist item.
