Modern LaTeX implementations (XeTeX, LuaTeX) can utilize a Fraktur font the usual way using the fontspec package. For traditional implementations (pdfTeX and older), the \mathfrak{ } command defined in the amssymb, amsfonts or eufrak package is available.

The definition of a Latin-script letter for this list is a character encoded in the Unicode Standard that has a script property of 'Latin' and the general category of 'Letter'. An overview of the distribution of Latin-script letters in Unicode is given in Latin script in Unicode.
The lists and tables below summarize and compare the letter inventories of some of the Latin-script alphabets.In this article, the scope of the word "alphabet" is broadened to include letters with tone marks, and other diacritics used to represent a wide range of orthographic traditions, without regard to whether or how they are sequenced in their alphabet or the table.
The Latin script was typically slightly altered to function as an alphabet for each different language (or other use), although the main letters are largely the same. A few general classes of alteration cover many particular cases: diacritics could be added to existing letters; two letters could be fused together into ligatures;

[6] It has various other specialized uses, such as a liter symbol and as the azimuthal quantum number symbol. U+2118 ℘ SCRIPT CAPITAL P is a symbol for Weierstrass's elliptic function. [7]
In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more graphemes or letters are joined to form a single glyph.Examples are the characters æ and œ used in English and French, in which the letters a and e are joined for the first ligature and the letters o and e are joined for the second ligature.
The term Latin alphabet may refer to either the alphabet used to write Latin (as described in this article) or other alphabets based on the Latin script, which is the basic set of letters common to the various alphabets descended from the classical Latin alphabet, such as the English alphabet. These Latin-script alphabets may discard letters ...
