Note: [1][2]

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, although a distinct minus sign (−) is included, semantically different from the Basic Latin hyphen-minus (-).

Variation sequences

[edit]

The Mathematical Operators block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[3][4] They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) to denote variant symbols (depending on the font):

Variation sequences
Base character Base +VS01 Description
U+2205 EMPTY SET ∅︀ zero with long diagonal stroke overlay form
U+2229 INTERSECTION ∩︀ with serifs
U+222A UNION ∪︀ with serifs
U+2268 LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO ≨︀ with vertical stroke
U+2269 GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO ≩︀ with vertical stroke
U+2272 LESS-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO ≲︀ following the slant of the lower leg
U+2273 GREATER-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO ≳︀ following the slant of the lower leg
U+228A SUBSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO ⊊︀ with stroke through bottom members
U+228B SUPERSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO ⊋︀ with stroke through bottom members
U+2293 SQUARE CAP ⊓︀ with serifs
U+2294 SQUARE CUP ⊔︀ with serifs
U+2295 CIRCLED PLUS ⊕︀ with white rim
U+2297 CIRCLED TIMES ⊗︀ with white rim
U+229C CIRCLED EQUALS ⊜︀ with equal sign touching the circle
U+22DA LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN ⋚︀ with slanted equal
U+22DB GREATER-THAN EQUAL TO OR LESS-THAN ⋛︀ with slanted equal
