  2. List of typographical symbols and punctuation marks

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typographical...

    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.

  3. Mathematical operators and symbols in Unicode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_operators_and...

    Mathematical operators and symbols are in multiple Unicode blocks. Some of these blocks are dedicated to, or primarily contain, mathematical characters while others are a mix of mathematical and non-mathematical characters. This article covers all Unicode characters with a derived property of "Math". [2] [3]

  4. Typographic approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_approximation

    U+002B + PLUS SIGN – various symbols with strokes extending to left, up, right and down. U+002D -HYPHEN-MINUS – probably an ASCII character the most used for approximations. A conventional representation of hyphen, an approximation of dash (especially as --and ---), minus sign − and line drawing horizontal line ─ (see the image). U+002E .

  5. Box-drawing characters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters

    On some terminals, these characters are not available at all, and the complexity of the escape sequences discouraged their use, so often only ASCII characters that approximate box-drawing characters are used, such as - (hyphen-minus), | (vertical bar), _ , = and + in a kind of ASCII art fashion.

  6. Tilde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde

    A tilde is also used to indicate "approximately equal to" (e.g. 1.902 ~= 2). This usage probably developed as a typed alternative to the libra symbol used for the same purpose in written mathematics, which is an equal sign with the upper bar replaced by a bar with an upward hump, bump, or loop in the middle (︍︍♎︎) or, sometimes, a tilde ...

  7. Mathematical Operators (Unicode block) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Operators...

    Mathematical Operators is a Unicode block containing characters for mathematical, logical, and set notation.. Notably absent are the plus sign (+), greater than sign (>) and less than sign (<), due to them already appearing in the Basic Latin Unicode block, and the plus-or-minus sign (±), multiplication sign (×) and obelus (÷), due to them already appearing in the Latin-1 Supplement block ...

  8. ASCII - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

    ASCII was incorporated into the Unicode (1991) character set as the first 128 symbols, so the 7-bit ASCII characters have the same numeric codes in both sets. This allows UTF-8 to be backward compatible with 7-bit ASCII, as a UTF-8 file containing only ASCII characters is identical to an ASCII file containing the same sequence of characters.

    U+2252 ≒ APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO OR THE IMAGE OF: Which is used like "≈" or "≃" in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. U+2253 ≓ IMAGE OF OR APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO: A reversed variation of U+2252 ≒ APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO OR THE IMAGE OF. U+225F ≟ QUESTIONED EQUAL TO: U+2A85 ⪅ LESS-THAN OR APPROXIMATE: U+2A86 ⪆ GREATER-THAN OR APPROXIMATE
