Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols

Tables of styled letters and digits

These tables show all styled forms of Latin and Greek letters, symbols, and digits in the Unicode Standard.

As mentioned above, while Unicode have mathematical alphanumeric characters specified to be sans-serif, it does not specify serif characters. It means that the normal (non-mathematical) characters shown below with a cyan background, along with the basic mathematical alphanumeric characters (those in the left-most columns), might be serif or sans-serif depending upon the installed fonts.

The styled characters are mostly located in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, but the 24 characters in cells with a pink background are located in the letterlike symbols block, for example, ℛ () is at U+211B rather than the expected U+1D4AD which is reserved. In the code charts for the Unicode Standard, the reserved code points corresponding to the pink cell are annotated with the name and code point of the correct character. There are a few characters which have names that suggest that they should belong in the tables below, but in fact do not because their official character names are misnomers:

• ; "despite its character name, this symbol is derived from a special italicized version of the small letter l". It has various other specialized uses, such as a liter symbol and as the azimuthal quantum number symbol.
• is a symbol for Weierstrass's elliptic function. url=https://unicode.org/notes/tn27/ | title=Unicode Technical Note #27: Known Anomalies in Unicode Character Names | publisher=Unicode Consortium | date=2006-05-08 | accessdate=2011-06-11

Latin letters

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below, except those shown with or index values of '–', are obtained by adding the base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column (both values are hexadecimal).

Latin capital letters

Latin small letters

Greek letters and symbols

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below, except those shown with or index values of '–', are obtained by adding the base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column (both values are hexadecimal).

Greek capital letters

Greek small letters

Digits

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below are obtained by adding the hexadecimal base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column.

Glyph variants

Variation selectors may be used to specify chancery (U+FE00) vs roundhand (U+FE01) forms, if a computer font is available that supports them:
