    When the user executes this shortcut on the on-screen alphabet keyboard, a keyboard that only has numbers and symbols on it will appear on the screen.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/footnote-with-a-number-vs-a-symbol.2563664

    Generally speaking, footnote symbols (asterisk, dagger, double-dagger, section mark, etc) are used to mark footnoted comments and are used in that order.

  7. figure vs. digit vs. numeral | WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/figure-vs-digit-vs-numeral.2649315

    No one would say that the digit or numeral is big. "Figure" can be any number. "Digit" would have to be one of the individual symbols used in writing a number, and "numeral" would be either one of the symbols or the set of symbols used to represent a number. A symbol or set of symbols would not be called "big". Cross posted.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/space-before-and-after-a-less-than-sign.1932640

    This is an excellent answer, and offers a helpful suggestion with regard to usage. However, per the answer itself, there should be a space following the less than sign that precedes the first occurrence of the number 10, i.e., not <10 g, but rather < 10 g.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/placement-of-the-euro-symbol.1350282

    Apr 8, 2009. #2. In English, the currency symbol is always placed before the number: $200. €19. In many other European languages, however, it's placed after the number. In other words, the placement depends on the language rather than on the currency. Last edited: Apr 8, 2009.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/symbol-for-the-word-opposite.2223235

    Although there is (lamentably) no universally acknowledged symbol for ''opposite'' in the mathematical language (as is commonly the case in math*), there is a symbol for opposite in accordance to some: the minus sign; ''-''. The Thing, is equal to the opposite opposite of The Thing: x=- (-x) [or, as in logic gates (computer tech): AND=- (NAND)]
