1 Introduction

Welcome to the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List! This document strives to be your primary source of LATEXsymbol information: font samples, LATEX commands, packages, usage details, caveats—everything needed to putthousands of different symbols at your disposal. All of the fonts covered herein meet the following criteria:

1. They are freely available from the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (http://www.ctan.org).

2. All of their symbols have LATEX 2ε bindings. That is, a user should be able to access a symbol by name,not just by \char〈number〉.

These are not particularly limiting criteria; the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List contains samples of ∼3086symbols—quite a large number. Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every LATEX 2ε system;others require fonts and packages that may not accompany a given distribution and that therefore need to beinstalled. See http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages+wherefiles for help withinstalling new fonts and packages.

1.1 Document Usage

Each section of this document contains a number of font tables. Each table shows a set of symbols, with thecorresponding LATEX command to the right of each symbol. A table’s caption indicates what package needs to beloaded in order to access that table’s symbols. For example, the symbols in Table 34, “textcomp Old-Style Nu-merals”, are made available by putting “\usepackagetextcomp” in your document’s preamble. “AMS” meansto use the AMS packages, viz. amssymb and/or amsmath. Notes below a table provide additional informationabout some or all the symbols in that table.

One note that appears a few times in this document, particularly in Section 2, indicates that certain symbolsdo not exist in the OT1 font encoding (Donald Knuth’s original, 7-bit font encoding, which is the default fontencoding for LATEX) and that you should use fontenc to select a different encoding, such as T1 (a common 8-bitfont encoding). That means that you should put “\usepackage[〈encoding〉]fontenc” in your document’spreamble, where 〈encoding〉 is, e.g., T1 or LY1. To limit the change in font encoding to the current group, use“\fontencoding〈encoding〉\selectfont”.

Section 7 contains some additional information about the symbols in this document. It shows which symbolnames are not unique across packages, gives examples of how to create new symbols out of existing symbols,explains how symbols are spaced in math mode, presents a LATEX ASCII and Latin 1 tables, and provides someinformation about this document itself. The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List ends with an index of all thesymbols in the document and various additional useful terms.

2 Body-text symbols

This section lists symbols that are intended for use in running text, such as punctuation marks, accents,ligatures, and currency symbols.

Table 1: LATEX 2ε Escapable “Special” Characters

$ \$ % \% \_ ∗ \ & \& # \# \

∗ The underscore package redefines “_” to produce an underscore in text mode (i.e., itmakes it unnecessary to escape the underscore character).

Table 2: Predefined LATEX 2ε Text-mode Commands

ˆ \textasciicircum < \textless˜ \textasciitilde a ª \textordfeminine∗ \textasteriskcentered o º \textordmasculine\ \textbackslash ¶ \textparagraph∗

. . . \textellipsis∗ £ \textsterling∗

— \textemdash TM ™ \texttrademark– \textendash \textunderscore∗

¡ \textexclamdown \textvisiblespace> \textgreater

Where two symbols are present, the left one is the “faked” symbol that LATEX 2εprovides by default, and the right one is the “true” symbol that textcomp makesavailable.

∗ It’s generally preferable to use the corresponding symbol from Table 3 because thesymbols in that table work properly in both text mode and math mode.

Where two symbols are present, the left one is the “faked” symbol that LATEX 2εprovides by default, and the right one is the “true” symbol that textcomp makesavailable.

\mb ¢ \me \mJ ± \mp \mY \mB \ME © \mj ¬ \ms ¯ \my \mC £ \Me \mK \mS ¶ \mz

These characters all need the T4 font encoding, which is provided by the fc package.

∗ \mv and \mV are synonyms for \mu and \mU.

Table 7: Letters Used to Typeset Vietnamese

Ơ \OHORN ơ \ohorn Ư \UHORN ư \uhorn

These characters all need the T5 font encoding, which is provided by the vntex pack-age.

Table 8: Punctuation Marks Not Found in OT1

« \guillemotleft ‹ \guilsinglleft „ \quotedblbase " \textquotedbl» \guillemotright › \guilsinglright ‚ \quotesinglbase

To get these symbols, use the fontenc package to select an alternate font encoding,such as T1.

font encoding, such as T1.‡ Requires the T4 font encoding, provided by the fc package.§ Requires the T5 font encoding, provided by the vntex package.

Also note the existence of \i and \j, which produce dotless versions of “i” and “j”(viz., “ı” and “”). These are useful when the accent is supposed to replace the dot.For example, “na\"\ive” produces a correct “naıve”, while “na\"ive” wouldyield the rather odd-looking “naıve”. (“na\"ive” does work in encodings otherthan OT1, however.)

The phonetic package provides a few additional macros for linguistic accents. \acbarand \acarc compose characters with multiple accents; for example, \acbar\’aproduces “´a” and \acarc\"e produces “¨e”. \labvel joins two characters withan arc: \labvelmn → “_mn”. \upbar is intended to go between characters as in“x\upbary’’→ “x y”. Lastly, \uplett behaves like \textsuperscript but uses asmaller font. Contrast “p\upletth’’ → “ph” with “p\textsuperscripth’’ →“ph”.

The idea behind the t4phonet package’s text-mode accents is to provide an interfaceto some of the accents in the T4 font encoding (accents marked with “‡” in Table 18on page 12) but using the same names as the tipa accents presented in Table 19 onpage 13.

The wsuipa package defines all of the above as ordinary characters, not as accents.However, it does provide \diatop and \diaunder commands, which are used to com-pose diacritics with other characters. For example, \diatop[\overring|a] produces“xa”, and \diaunder[\underdots|a] produces “ra”. See the wsuipa documentationfor more information.

The different euro signs are meant to be visually compatible with different fonts—Courier (\EURcr), Helvetica (\EURhv), Times Roman (\EURtm), and the marvosymdigits listed in Table 138 (\EURdig). The mathdesign package redefines \texteuro tobe visually compatible with one of three additional fonts: Utopia (€), Charter (€),or Garamond (€).

\euro is automatically mapped to one of the above—by default, \officialeuro—based on a eurosym package option. See the eurosym documentation for more infor-mation. The \geneuro. . . characters are generated from the current body font’s “C”character and therefore may not appear exactly as shown.

3 Mathematical symbols

Most, but not all, of the symbols in this section are math-mode only. That is, they yield a “Missing $inserted” error message if not used within $. . .$, \[. . .\], or another math-mode environment. Operatorsmarked as “variable-sized” are taller in displayed formulas, shorter in in-text formulas, and possibly shorter stillwhen used in various levels of superscripts or subscripts.

When used with \left and \right, these symbols expand to the height of the en-closed math expression. Note that \vert is a synonym for |, and \Vert is a synonymfor \|.

ε-TEX provides a \middle analogue to \left and \right. \middle can be used, forexample, to make an internal “|” expand to the height of the surrounding \left and\right symbols. (This capability is commonly needed when typesetting adjacent brasand kets in Dirac notation: “〈φ|ψ〉”). A similar effect can be achieved in conventionalLATEX using the braket package.

Also note the existence of \imath and \jmath, which produce dotless versions of “i”and “j ”. (See Table 139 on page 42.) These are useful when the accent is supposedto replace the dot. For example, “\hat\imath” produces a correct “ ı ”, while“\hati” would yield the rather odd-looking “ i ”.

These accents are also provided by the mathabx and accents packages and are redefinedby the mathdots package if the amsmath and amssymb packages have previously beenloaded. All of the variations except for the original AMS ones tighten the spacebetween the dots (from

...a to ˙a). The mathabx and mathdots versions also function

properly within subscripts and superscripts (x˙a instead of x...a ) .

As demonstrated in a 1997 TUGboat article about typesetting long-division prob-lems [Gib97], an extensible long-division sign (“ )abc ”) can be faked by putting a“\big)” in a tabular environment with an \hline or \cline in the preceding row.The article also presents a piece of code (uploaded to CTAN as longdiv.tex) thatautomatically solves and typesets—by putting an \overline atop “\big)” and thedesired text—long-division problems. See also the polynom package, which automat-ically solves and typesets polynomial-division problems in a similar manner.

∗ These symbols are made more extensible by the MnSymbol package and even moreextensible by the yhmath package.

† If you’re looking for an extensible diagonal line or arrow to be used for canceling orreducing mathematical subexpressions (e.g., “x+−x” or “:

53 + 2 ”) then consider

using the cancel package.

‡ With an optional argument, \sqrt typesets nth roots. For example,“\sqrt[3]abc” produces “ 3√

abc ” and “\sqrt[n]abc” produces “ n√abc ”.

∗ Put “\DeclareMathAlphabet\mathpzcOT1pzcmit” in your docu-ment’s preamble to make \mathpzc typeset its argument in Zapf Chancery.As a similar trick, you can typeset the Calligra font’s script “r ” (or othercalligraphic symbols) in math mode by loading the calligra package andputting “\DeclareMathAlphabet\mathcalligraT1calligramn”in your document’s preamble to make \mathcalligra typeset itsargument in the Calligra font. (You may also want to specify“\DeclareFontShapeT1calligramn<->s*[2.2]callig15” to setCalligra at 2.2 times its design size for a better blend with typical body fonts.)

† The mathbbol package defines some additional blackboard bold characters: parenthe-ses, square brackets, angle brackets, and—if the bbgreekl option is passed to matb-bol—Greek letters. For instance, “<[( )]>” is produced by “\mathbb\Langle\Lbrack\Lparen\bbalpha\bbbeta\bbgamma\Rparen\Rbrack\Rangle”.

mbboard extends the blackboard bold symbol set significantly further. It supportsnot only the Greek alphabet—including “Greek-like” symbols such as \bbnabla—but also all punctuation marks, various currency symbols such as \bbdollar and\bbeuro, and the Hebrew alphabet.

‡ As their \text. . . names imply, the fonts provided by the yfonts package are actuallytext fonts. They are included in Table 147 because they are frequently used in amathematical context.

In addition, within \textifsym. . ., the following codes are valid:

l l m m h h d d < < > >

L L M M H H D D = << ? >>

This enables one to write “\textifsymmm<DDD>mm” to get “mm<DDD>mm” or“\textifsymL|H|L|H|L” to get “L|H|L|H|L”. See also the timing package, whichprovides a wide variety of pulse-diagram symbols within an environment designedspecifically for typesetting pulse diagrams.

Finally, \textifsym supports the display of segmented digits, as would appear on anLCD: “\textifsym-123.456” produces “-123.456”. “\textifsymb” outputsa blank with the same width as an “8”.

5 Dingbats

Dingbats are symbols such as stars, arrows, and geometric shapes. They are commonly used as bullets initemized lists or, more generally, as a means to draw attention to the text that follows.

The pifont dingbat package warrants special mention. Among other capabilities, pifont provides a LATEXinterface to the Zapf Dingbats font (one of the standard 35 PostScript fonts). However, rather than name eachof the dingbats individually, pifont merely provides a single \ding command, which outputs the character thatlies at a given position in the font. The consequence is that the pifont symbols can’t be listed by name in thisdocument’s index, so be mindful of that fact when searching for a particular symbol.

7 Additional Information

Unlike the previous sections of this document, Section 7 does not contain new symbol tables. Rather, it providesadditional help in using the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List. First, it draws attention to symbol names usedby multiple packages. Next, it provides some guidelines for finding symbols and gives some examples regardinghow to construct missing symbols out of existing ones. Then, it comments on the spacing surrounding symbolsin math mode. After that, it presents an ASCII and Latin 1 quick-reference guide, showing how to enter all ofthe standard ASCII/Latin 1 symbols in LATEX. And finally, it lists some statistics about this document itself.

7.1 Symbol Name Clashes

Unfortunately, a number of symbol names are not unique; they appear in more than one package. Depending onhow the symbols are defined in each package, LATEX will either output an error message or replace an earlier-definedsymbol with a later-defined symbol. Table 223 presents a selection of name clashes that appear in this document.The symbol “N/A” is used to indicate that the corresponding package was not available when symbols.tex wascompiled.

Using multiple symbols with the same name in the same document—or even merely loading conflicting symbolpackages—can be tricky but, as evidenced by the existence of Table 223, not impossible. The general procedureis to load the first package, rename the conflicting symbols, and then load the second package. Examine theLATEX source for this document (symbols.tex) for examples of this and other techniques for handling symbolconflicts. Note that symbols.tex’s \savesymbol and \restoresymbol macros have been extracted into thesavesym package, which can be downloaded from CTAN.

txfonts and pxfonts redefine a huge number of symbols—essentially, all of the symbols defined by latexsym,textcomp, the various AMS symbol sets, and LATEX 2ε itself. The txfonts and pxfonts conflicts are not listed inTable 223 because they are designed to be compatible with the symbols they replace. Table 224 on page 65illustrates what “compatible” means in this context.

To use the new txfonts/pxfonts symbols without altering the document’s main font, merely reset the defaultfont families back to their original values after loading one of those packages:

\renewcommand\rmdefaultcmr\renewcommand\sfdefaultcmss\renewcommand\ttdefaultcmtt

7.2 Resizing symbols

Mathematical symbols listed in this document as “variable-sized” are designed to stretch vertically. Each variable-sized symbol comes in one or more basic sizes plus a variation comprising both stretchable and nonstretchablesegments. Table 225 on page 65 presents the symbols \ and \uparrow in their default size, in their \big, \Big,\bigg, and \Bigg sizes, in an even larger size achieved using \left/\right, and—for contrast—in a large sizeachieved by changing the font size using LATEX 2ε’s \fontsize command. Because the symbols shown belong tothe Computer Modern family, the type1cm package needs to be loaded to support font sizes larger than 24.88 pt.

Note how \fontsize makes the symbol wider and thicker. (The graphicx package’s \scalebox or \resizeboxcommands would produce a similar effect.) Also, the \fontsize-enlarged symbol is vertically centered relativeto correspondingly large text, unlike the symbols enlarged using \big et al. or \left/\right, which all use thesame math axis regardless of symbol size. However, \fontsize is not limited to mathematical delimiters. Also,\scalebox and \resizebox are more robust to poorly composed symbols (e.g., two symbols made to overlap bybackspacing a fixed distance) but do not work with every TEX backend and will produce jagged symbols whenscaling a bitmapped font.

All variable-sized delimiters are defined (by the corresponding .tfm file) in terms of up to five segments, asillustrated by Figure 1 on page 65. The top, middle, and bottom segments are of a fixed size. The top-middleand middle-bottom segments (which are constrained to be the same character) are repeated as many times asnecessary to achieve the desired height.

7.3 Where can I find the symbol for . . . ?

If you can’t find some symbol you’re looking for in this document, there are a few possible explanations:

• The symbol isn’t intuitively named. As a few examples, the ifsym command to draw dice is “\Cube”; a plussign with a circle around it (“exclusive or” to computer engineers) is “\oplus”; and lightning bolts in fontsdesigned by German speakers may have “blitz” in their names as in the ulsy package. The moral of thestory is to be creative with synonyms when searching the index.

• The symbol is defined by some package that I overlooked (or deemed unimportant). If there’s some symbolpackage that you think should be included in the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List, please send me e-mailat the address listed on the title page.

• The symbol isn’t defined in any package whatsoever.

Even in the last case, all is not lost. Sometimes, a symbol exists in a font, but there is no LATEX binding forit.

Reflecting and rotating existing symbols

Rotated/reflected versions of an existing symbol can be produced using the graphicx (or graphics) package’s\reflectbox and \rotatebox macros.3

Joining and overlapping existing symbols

If a symbol does not exist in any orientation in any font, it may be possible to fabricate it out of existing symbols.The LATEX 2ε source file fontdef.dtx contains a number of such definitions. For example, \models (see Table 55on page 24) is defined in that file with:

\def\models\mathrel|\joinrel=

where \mathrel and \joinrel are used to control the horizontal spacing. \def is the TEX primitive upon whichLATEX’s \newcommand is based. See The TEXbook [Knu86a] for more information on all three of those commands.

With some simple pattern-matching, one can easily define a backward \models sign (“=|”):

\def\ismodeledby=\joinrel\mathrel|

In general, arrows/harpoons, horizontal lines (“=”, “-”, “\relbar”, and “\Relbar”), and the various math-extension characters can be combined creatively with miscellaneous other characters to produce a variety of newsymbols. Of course, new symbols can be composed from any set of existing characters. For instance, LATEXdefines \hbar (“~”) as a “¯” character (\mathchar’26) followed by a backspace of 9 math units (\mkern-9mu),followed by the letter “h”:

\def\hbar\mathchar’26\mkern-9muh

We can just as easily define other barred letters:

\def\bbar\mathchar’26\mkern-9mu b\def\dbar\mathchar’26\mkern-12mu d

(The space after the “mu” is optional but is added for clarity.) \bbar and \dbar define “b” and “d”, respectively.Note that \dbar requires a greater backward math kern than \bbar; a −9 mu kern would have produced theless-attractive “d” glyph.

The amsmath package provides \overset and \underset commands for placing one symbol respectively aboveor below another. For example, \oversetG\sim4 produces “G∼” (sometimes used for “equidecomposable withrespect to G”).

3This should be used as a last resort. Not every TEX backend supports graphical transformations.4LATEX’s \stackrel command is similar but is limited to placing a symbol above a binary relation.

66

Page 67: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

Sometimes an ordinary tabular environment can be co-opted into juxtaposing existing symbols into a newsymbol. Consider the following definition of \asterism (“ ***”) from a June 2007 post to comp.text.tex by PeterFlynn:

\newcommand\asterism\smash%\raisebox-.5ex%\setlength\tabcolsep-.5pt%\begintabular@cc@%\multicolumn2c*\\[-2ex]*&*%

\endtabular

Note how the space between columns (\tabcolsep) and rows (\\[. . . ]) is made negative to squeeze the asteriskscloser together.

There is a TEX primitive called \mathaccent that centers one mathematical symbol atop another. For example,one can define \dotcup (“ ·∪”)—the composition of a \cup and a \cdot—as follows:

\newcommand\dotcup\ensuremath\mathaccent\cdot\cup

The catch is that \mathaccent requires the accent to be a “math character”. That is, it must be a characterin a math font as opposed to a symbol defined in terms of other symbols. See The TEXbook [Knu86a] for moreinformation.

Another TEX primitive that is useful for composing symbols is \vcenter. \vcenter is conceptually similarto “\begintabularl” in LATEX but takes a list of vertical material instead of \\-separated rows. Also, itvertically centers the result on the math axis. (Many operators, such as “+” and “−” are also vertically centeredon the math axis.) Enrico Gregorio posted the following symbol definition to comp.text.tex in March 2004 inresponse to a query about an alternate way to denote equivalence:

\newcommand*\threesim%\mathrel\vcenter\offinterlineskip\hbox$\sim$\vskip-.35ex\hbox$\sim$\vskip-.35ex\hbox$\sim$

The \threesim symbol, which vertically centers three \sim (“∼”) symbols with 0.35 x-heights of space betweenthem, is rendered as “∼∼∼”. \offinterlineskip is a macro that disables implicit interline spacing. Without it,\threesim would have a full line of vertical spacing between each \sim. Because of \vcenter, \threesim alignsproperly with other math operators: a÷ b ∼∼∼ c× d.

A related LATEX command, borrowed from Plain TEX, is \ooalign. \ooalign vertically overlaps symbols andworks both within and outside of math mode. Essentially, it creates a single-column tabular environment withzero vertical distance between rows. However, because it is based directly on TEX’s \ialign primitive, \ooalignuses TEX’s tabular syntax instead of LATEX’s (i.e., with \cr as the row terminator instead of \\). The followingexample of \ooalign, a macro that defines a standard-state symbol (\stst, “− ”) as a superscripted Plimsollline (\barcirc, “−”),5 is due to an October 2007 comp.text.tex post by Donald Arseneau:

\makeatletter\providecommand\barcirc\mathpalette\@barred\circ\def\@barred#1#2\ooalign\hfil$#1-$\hfil\cr\hfil$#1#2$\hfil\cr\newcommand\stst^\protect\barcirc\makeatother

In the preceding code, note the \ooalign call’s use of \hfil to horizontally center a minus sign (“−”) and a\circ (“”).

As another example of \ooalign, consider the following code (due to Enrico Gregorio in a June 2007 post tocomp.text.tex) that overlaps a \ni (“3”) and two minus signs (“−−”) to produce “3−−”:

5While \barcirc illustrates how to combine symbols using \ooalign, the stmaryrd package’s \minuso command (Table 41 onpage 20) provides a similar glyph (“”) as a single, indivisible symbol.

67

\newcommand\suchthat%\mathrel\ooalign$\ni$\cr\kern-1pt$-$\kern-6.5pt$-$

The slashed package, although originally designed for producing Feynman slashed-character notation, in factfacilitates the production of arbitrary overlapped symbols. The default behavior is to overwrite a given characterwith “/”. For example, \slashedD produces “ /D”. However, the \declareslashed command provides theflexibility to specify the mathematical context of the composite character (operator, relation, punctuation, etc.,as will be discussed in Section 7.4), the overlapping symbol, horizontal and vertical adjustments in symbol-relative units, and the character to be overlapped. Consider, for example, the symbol for reduced quadrupolemoment (“-I”). This can be declared as follows:

\newcommand\rqm%\declareslashed\text-0.040I\slashedI

\declareslashed····I affects the meaning of all subsequent \slashedI commands in the samescope. The preceding definition of \rqm therefore uses an extra set of curly braces to limit that scope toa single \slashedI. In addition, \rqm uses amstext’s \text macro (described on the next page) to make\declareslashed use a text-mode hyphen (“-”) instead of a math-mode minus sign (“−”) and to ensure that thehyphen scales properly in size in subscripts and superscripts. See slashed’s documentation (located in slashed.styitself) for a detailed usage description of the \slashed and \declareslashed commands.

Somewhat simpler than slashed is the centernot package. centernot provides a single command, \centernot,which, like \not, puts a slash over the subsequent mathematical symbol. However, instead of putting the slashat a fixed location, \centernot centers the slash over its argument:

6−→ \not\longrightarrow

vs.6−→ \centernot\longrightarrow

See the centernot documentation for more information.

Making new symbols work in superscripts and subscripts

To make composite symbols work properly within subscripts and superscripts, you may need to use TEX’s\mathchoice primitive. \mathchoice evaluates one of four expressions, based on whether the current math styleis display, text, script, or scriptscript. (See The TEXbook [Knu86a] for a more complete description.) For exam-ple, the following LATEX code—posted to comp.text.tex by Torsten Bronger—composes a sub/superscriptable“⊥>” symbol out of \top and \bot (“>” and “⊥”):

\def\topbotatom#1\hbox\hbox to 0pt$#1\bot$\hss$#1\top$\newcommand*\topbot\mathrel\mathchoice\topbotatom\displaystyle

\topbotatom\textstyle\topbotatom\scriptstyle\topbotatom\scriptscriptstyle

The following is another example that uses \mathchoice to construct symbols in different math modes. Thecode defines a principal value integral symbol, which is an integral sign with a line through it.

\def\Xint#1\mathchoice\XXint\displaystyle\textstyle#1%\XXint\textstyle\scriptstyle#1%\XXint\scriptstyle\scriptscriptstyle#1%\XXint\scriptscriptstyle\scriptscriptstyle#1%\!\int

\def\XXint#1#2#3\setbox0=\hbox$#1#2#3\int$\vcenter\hbox$#2#3$\kern-.5\wd0

\def\ddashint\Xint=\def\dashint\Xint-

68

Page 69: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

(The preceding code was taken verbatim from the UK TEX Users’ Group FAQ at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq.) \dashint produces a single-dashed integral sign (“−

∫”), while \ddashint produces a double-dashed

one (“=∫

”). The \Xint macro defined above can also be used to generate a wealth of new integrals: “∫

”(\Xint\circlearrowright), “

∫” (\Xint\circlearrowleft), “⊂

∫” (\Xint\subset), “∞

∫” (\Xint\infty), and so

forth.LATEX 2ε provides a simple wrapper for \mathchoice that sometimes helps produce terser symbol definitions.

The macro is called \mathpalette and it takes two arguments. \mathpalette invokes the first argument, passingit one of “\displaystyle”, “\textstyle”, “\scriptstyle”, or “\scriptscriptstyle”, followed by the secondargument. \mathpalette is useful when a symbol macro must know which math style is currently in use (e.g., toset it explicitly within an \mbox). Donald Arseneau posted the following \mathpalette-based definition of aprobabilistic-independence symbol (“⊥⊥”) to comp.text.tex in June 2000:

\newcommand\independent\protect\mathpalette\protect\independenT\perp\def\independenT#1#2\mathrel\rlap$#1#2$\mkern2mu#1#2

The \independent macro uses \mathpalette to pass the \independenT helper macro both the current mathstyle and the \perp symbol. \independenT typesets \perp in the current math style, moves two math units tothe right, and finally typesets a second—overlapping—copy of \perp, again in the current math style. \rlap,which enables text overlap, is described later on this page.

Some people like their square-root signs with a trailing “hook” (i.e., “√ ”) as this helps visually distinguishexpressions like “

√3x ” from those like “

√3x”. In March 2002, Dan Luecking posted a \mathpalette-based

definition of a hooked square-root symbol to comp.text.tex:

\def\hksqrt\mathpalette\DHLhksqrt\def\DHLhksqrt#1#2\setbox0=\hbox$#1\sqrt#2\,$\dimen0=\ht0\advance\dimen0-0.2\ht0\setbox2=\hbox\vrule height\ht0 depth -\dimen0%\box0\lower0.4pt\box2

Notice how \DHLhksqrt uses \mathpalette to recover the outer math style (argument #1) from within an \hbox.The rest of the code is simply using TEX primitives to position a hook of height 0.2 times the \sqrt height atthe right of the \sqrt. See The TEXbook [Knu86a] for more understanding of TEX “boxes” and “dimens”.

Sometimes, however, amstext’s \text macro is all that is necessary to make composite symbols appear correctlyin subscripts and superscripts, as in the following definitions of \neswarrow (“”) and \nwsearrow (“”):6

\newcommand\neswarrow\mathrel\text$\nearrow$\llap$\swarrow$\newcommand\nwsearrow\mathrel\text$\nwarrow$\llap$\searrow$

\text resembles LATEX’s \mbox command but shrinks its argument appropriately when used within a subscript orsuperscript. \llap (“left overlap”) and its counterpart, \rlap (“right overlap”), appear frequently when creatingcomposite characters. \llap outputs its argument to the left of the current position, overlapping whatever textis already there. Similarly, \rlap overlaps whatever text would normally appear to the right of its argument.For example, “A\llapB” and “\rlapAB” each produce “AB”. However, the result of the former is the widthof “A”, and the result of the latter is the width of “B”—\llap. . . and \rlap. . . take up zero space.

In a June 2002 post to comp.text.tex, Donald Arseneau presented a general macro for aligning an arbitrarynumber of symbols on their horizontal centers and vertical baselines:

\makeatletter\def\moverlay\mathpalette\mov@rlay\def\mov@rlay#1#2\leavevmode\vtop%

\baselineskip\z@skip \lineskiplimit-\maxdimen\ialign\hfil$#1##$\hfil\cr#2\crcr

\makeatother

6Note that if your goal is to typeset commutative diagrams, then you should probably be using XY-pic.

69

Page 70: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

The \makeatletter and \makeatother commands are needed to coerce LATEX into accepting “@” aspart of a macro name. \moverlay takes a list of symbols separated by \cr (TEX’s equivalent ofLATEX’s \\). For example, the \topbot command defined on page 68 could have been expressed as“\moverlay\top\cr\bot” and the \neswarrow command defined on the previous page could have been ex-pressed as “\moverlay\nearrow\cr\swarrow”.

The basic concept behind \moverlay’s implementation is that \moverlay typesets the given symbols in atable that utilizes a zero \baselineskip. This causes every row to be typeset at the same vertical position. SeeThe TEXbook [Knu86a] for explanations of the TEX primitives used by \moverlay.

Modifying LATEX-generated symbols

Oftentimes, symbols composed in the LATEX 2ε source code can be modified with minimal effort to produce usefulvariations. For example, fontdef.dtx composes the \ddots symbol (see Table 132 on page 40) out of threeperiods, raised 7 pt., 4 pt., and 1 pt., respectively:

\def\ddots\mathinner\mkern1mu\raise7\p@\vbox\kern7\p@\hbox.\mkern2mu\raise4\p@\hbox.\mkern2mu\raise\p@\hbox.\mkern1mu

\p@ is a LATEX 2ε shortcut for “pt” or “1.0pt”. The remaining commands are defined in The TEXbook [Knu86a].To draw a version of \ddots with the dots going along the opposite diagonal, we merely have to reorder the\raise7\p@, \raise4\p@, and \raise\p@:

\makeatletter\def\revddots\mathinner\mkern1mu\raise\p@\vbox\kern7\p@\hbox.\mkern2mu\raise4\p@\hbox.\mkern2mu\raise7\p@\hbox.\mkern1mu

\makeatother

\revddots is essentially identical to the mathdots package’s \iddots command or the yhmath package’s \adotscommand.

Producing complex accents

Accents are a special case of combining existing symbols to make new symbols. While various tables in thisdocument show how to add an accent to an existing symbol, some applications, such as transliterations from non-Latin alphabets, require multiple accents per character. For instance, the creator of pdfTEX writes his name as“Han Th´e Thanh”. The dblaccnt package enables LATEX to stack accents, as in “H\‘an Th\’\^e Th\‘anh” (albeitnot in the OT1 font encoding). In addition, the wsuipa package defines \diatop and \diaunder macros for puttingone or more diacritics or accents above or below a given character. For example, \diaunder[\diatop[\’|\=]|\textsubdotr] produces “´r

˙”. See the wsuipa documentation for more information.

The accents package facilitates the fabrication of accents in math mode. Its \accentset command enables anycharacter to be used as an accent. For instance, \accentset\starf produces “

?

f ” and \accentseteX

produces “e

X”. \underaccent does the same thing, but places the accent beneath the character. This enablesconstructs like \underaccent\tildeV, which produces “

˜V ”. accents provides other accent-related features

as well; see the documentation for more information.

Creating extensible symbols

A relatively simple example of creating extensible symbols stems from a comp.text.tex post by Donald Arseneau(June 2003). The following code defines an equals sign that extends as far to the right as possible, just like LATEX’s\hrulefill command:

\makeatletter\def\equalsfill$\m@th\mathord=\mkern-7mu\cleaders\hbox$\!\mathord=\!$\hfill

70

Page 71: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

\mkern-7mu\mathord=$\makeatother

TEX’s \cleaders and \hfill primitives are the key to understanding \equalsfill’s extensibility. Essentially,\equalsfill repeats a box containing “=” plus some negative space until it fills the maximum available horizontalspace. \equalsfill is intended to be used with LATEX’s \stackrel command, which stacks one mathematicalexpression (slightly reduced in size) atop another. Hence, “\stackrela\rightarrow” produces “ a→” and “X\stackrel\textdefinition\hbox\equalsfill Y” produces “X definition======= Y ”.

If all that needs to extend are horizontal and vertical lines—as opposed to repeated symbols such as the “=”in the previous example—LATEX’s array or tabular environments may suffice. Consider the following code (dueto a February 1999 comp.text.tex post by Donald Arseneau) for typesetting annuities:

\DeclareRobustCommand\annu[1]_%\def\arraystretch0%\setlength\arraycolsep1pt% adjust these\setlength\arrayrulewidth.2pt% two settings\beginarray[b]@c|\hline\\[\arraycolsep]%\scriptstyle #1%\endarray%

One can then use, e.g., “$A\annux:n$” to produce “Ax:n ”.A more complex example of composing accents is the following definition of extensible \overbracket,

\underbracket, \overparenthesis, and \underparenthesis symbols, taken from a May 2002 comp.text.texpost by Donald Arseneau:

\makeatletter\def\overbracket#1\mathop\vbox\ialign##\crcr\noalign\kern3\p@

Table 226 showcases these accents. The TEXbook [Knu86a] or another book on TEX primitives is indispensiblefor understanding how the preceding code works. The basic idea is that \downparenthfill, \upparenthfill,\downbracketfill, and \upbracketfill do all of the work; they output a left symbol (e.g., \braceld [“︷”] for\downparenthfill), a horizontal rule that stretches as wide as possible, and a right symbol (e.g., \bracerd [“︷”]

Developing new symbols from scratch

Sometimes is it simply not possible to define a new symbol in terms of existing symbols. Fortunately, most, if notall, TEX distributions are shipped with a tool called METAFONT which is designed specifically for creating fontsto be used with TEX. The METAFONTbook [Knu86b] is the authoritative text on METAFONT. If you plan todesign your own symbols with METAFONT, The METAFONTbook is essential reading. Nevertheless, the followingis an extremely brief tutorial on how to create a new LATEX symbol using METAFONT. Its primary purpose is tocover the LATEX-specific operations not mentioned in The METAFONTbook and to demonstrate that symbol-fontcreation is not necessarily a difficult task.

Suppose we need a symbol to represent a light bulb (“A”).7 The first step is to draw this in METAFONT.It is common to separate the font into two files: a size-dependent file, which specifies the design size and var-ious font-specific parameters that are a function of the design size; and a size-independent file, which drawscharacters in the given size. Figure 2 shows the METAFONT code for lightbulb10.mf. lightbulb10.mf spec-ifies various parameters that produce a 10 pt. light bulb then loads lightbulb.mf. Ideally, one should producelightbulb〈size〉.mf files for a variety of 〈size〉s. This is called “optical scaling”. It enables, for example, the linesthat make up the light bulb to retain the same thickness at different font sizes, which looks much nicer than thealternative—and default—“mechanical scaling”. When a lightbulb〈size〉.mf file does not exist for a given size〈size〉, the computer mechanically produces a wider, taller, thicker symbol:

A vs. A vs. A vs. A vs. A vs. A vs. A10 pt. 20 pt. 30 pt. 40 pt. 50 pt. 60 pt. 70 pt.

font identifier := "LightBulb10"; % Name the font.font size 10pt#; % Specify the design size.

em# := 10pt#; % “M” width is 10 points.cap# := 7pt#; % Capital letter height is 7 points above the baseline.sb# := 1/4pt#; % Leave this much space on the side of each character.o# := 1/16pt#; % Amount that curves overshoot borders.

input lightbulb % Load the file that draws the actual glyph.

Figure 2: Sample METAFONT size-specific file (lightbulb10.mf)

lightbulb.mf, shown in Figure 3, draws a light bulb using the parameters defined in lightbulb10.mf.Note that the the filenames “lightbulb10.mf” and “lightbulb.mf” do not follow the Berry font-namingscheme [Ber01]; the Berry font-naming scheme is largely irrelevant for symbol fonts, which generally lack bold,italic, small-caps, slanted, and other such variants.

7I’m not a very good artist; you’ll have to pretend that “A” looks like a light bulb.

endchar;end

Figure 3: Sample METAFONT size-independent file (lightbulb.mf)

The code in Figures 2 and 3 is heavily commented and should demonstrate some of the basic concepts behindMETAFONT usage: declaring variables, defining points, drawing lines and curves, and preparing to debug or fine-tune the output. Again, The METAFONTbook [Knu86b] is the definitive reference on METAFONT programming.

METAFONT can produce “proofs” of fonts—large, labeled versions that showcase the logical structure of eachcharacter. In fact, proof mode is METAFONT’s default mode. To produce a proof of lightbulb10.mf, issue thefollowing commands at the operating-system prompt:

prompt> mf lightbulb10.mf ⇐ Produces lightbulb10.2602gfprompt> gftodvi lightbulb10.2602gf ⇐ Produces lightbulb10.dvi

You can then view lightbulb10.dvi with any DVI viewer. The result is shown in Figure 4. Observe how thegrid defined with makegrid at the bottom of Figure 3 draws vertical lines at positions 0, sb, w/2, and w− sb andhorizontal lines at positions 0, −1pt, y2, and h. Similarly, observe how the penlabels command labels all of theimportant coordinates: z1, z2, . . . , z8 and z67, which lightbulb.mf defines to lie between z6 and z7.

Most, if not all, TEX distributions include a Plain TEX file called testfont.tex which is useful for testingnew fonts in a variety of ways. One useful routine produces a table of all of the characters in the font:

prompt> tex testfontThis is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)(/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain/base/testfont.tex

The LightBulb10 font is now usable by TEX. LATEX 2ε, however, needs more information before documentscan use the font. First, we create a font-description file that tells LATEX 2ε how to map fonts in a given fontfamily and encoding to a particular font in a particular font size. For symbol fonts, this mapping is fairlysimple. Symbol fonts almost always use the “U” (“Unknown”) font encoding and frequently occur in only onevariant: normal weight and non-italicized. The filename for a font-description file important; it must be of theform “〈encoding〉〈family〉.fd”, where 〈encoding〉 is the lowercase version of the encoding name (typically “u” forsymbol fonts) and 〈family〉 is the name of the font family. For LightBulb10, let’s call this “bulb”. Figure 6 liststhe contents of ubulb.fd. The document “LATEX 2ε Font Selection” [LAT00] describes \DeclareFontFamily and\DeclareFontShape in detail, but the gist of ubulb.fd is first to declare a U-encoded version of the bulb fontfamily and then to specify that a LATEX 2ε request for a U-encoded version of bulb with a (m)edium font series (asopposed to, e.g., bold) and a (n)ormal font shape (as opposed to, e.g., italic) should translate into a TEX requestfor lightbulb10.tfm mechanically scaled to the current font size.

\DeclareFontFamilyUbulb\DeclareFontShapeUbulbmn<-> lightbulb10

Figure 6: LATEX 2ε font-description file (ubulb.fd)

The final step is to write a LATEX 2ε style file that defines a name for each symbol in the font. Because we haveonly one symbol our style file, lightbulb.sty (Figure 7), is rather trivial. Note that instead of typesetting “A” wecould have had \lightbulb typeset “\char65”, “\char"41”, or “\char’101” (respectively, decimal, hexadecimal,and octal character offsets into the font). For a simple, one-character symbol font such as LightBulb10 it wouldbe reasonable to merge ubulb.fd into lightbulb.sty instead of maintaining two separate files. In either case, adocument need only include “\usepackagelightbulb” to make the \lightbulb symbol available.

\newcommand\lightbulb\usefontUbulbmnA

Figure 7: LATEX 2ε style file (lightbulb.sty)

METAFONT normally produces bitmapped fonts. However, it is also possible, with the help of some externaltools, to produce PostScript Type 1 fonts. These have the advantages of rendering better in Adobe® Acrobat®

(at least in versions prior to 6.0) and of being more memory-efficient when handled by a PostScript interpreter. Seehttp://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=textrace for pointers to tools that can produce Type 1fonts from METAFONT.

7.4 Math-mode spacing

Terms such as “binary operators”, “relations”, and “punctuation” in Section 3 primarily regard the surroundingspacing. (See the Short Math Guide for LATEX [Dow00] for a nice exposition on the subject.) To use a symbolfor a different purpose, you can use the TEX commands \mathord, \mathop, \mathbin, \mathrel, \mathopen,\mathclose, and \mathpunct. For example, if you want to use \downarrow as a variable (an “ordinary” symbol)instead of a delimiter, you can write “$3 x + \mathord\downarrow$” to get the properly spaced “3x+↓” ratherthan the awkward-looking “3x+ ↓”. Similarly, to create a dotted-union symbol (“∪”) that spaces like the ordi-nary set-union symbol (\cup) it must be defined with \mathbin, just as \cup is. Contrast “$A \dot\cup B$”(“A∪B”) with “$A \mathbin\dot\cup B$” (“A ∪ B”). See The TEXbook [Knu86a] for the definitive de-scription of math-mode spacing.

The purpose of the “log-like symbols” in Tables 90 and 91 is to provide the correct amount of spacing aroundand within multiletter function names. Table 227 contrasts the output of the log-like symbols with various,naıve alternatives. In addition to spacing, the log-like symbols also handle subscripts properly. For example,“\max_p \in P” produces “maxp∈P ” in text, but “max

p∈P” as part of a displayed formula.

Table 227: Spacing Around/Within Log-like Symbols

LATEX expression Output

$r \sin \theta$ r sin θ (best)$r sin \theta$ rsinθ$r \mboxsin \theta$ rsinθ$r \mathrmsin \theta$ rsinθ

The amsmath package makes it straightforward to define new log-like symbols:

\DeclareMathOperator\atanatan\DeclareMathOperator*\lcmlcm

75

Page 76: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

The difference between \DeclareMathOperator and \DeclareMathOperator* involves the handling of subscripts.With \DeclareMathOperator*, subscripts are written beneath log-like symbols in display style and to the rightin text style. This is useful for limit operators (e.g., \lim) and functions that tend to map over a set (e.g., \min).In contrast, \DeclareMathOperator tells TEX that subscripts should always be displayed to the right of theoperator, as is common for functions that take a single parameter (e.g., \log and \cos). Table 228 contrastssymbols declared with \DeclareMathOperator and \DeclareMathOperator* in both text style ($. . .$) and dis-play style (\[. . .\]).8

Table 228: Defining new log-like symbols

Declaration function $\newlogsym p \in P$ \[ \newlogsym p \in P \]

\DeclareMathOperator newlogsymp∈P newlogsymp∈P

\DeclareMathOperator* newlogsymp∈P newlogsymp∈P

It is common to use a thin space (\,) between the words of a multiword operators, as in“\DeclareMathOperator*\argmaxarg\,max”. \liminf, \limsup, and all of the log-like symbols shownin Table 91 utilize this spacing convention.

7.5 Bold mathematical symbols

LATEX does not normally use bold symbols when typesetting mathematics. However, bold symbols are occasionallyneeded, for example when naming vectors. Any of the approaches described at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek can be used to produce bold mathematical symbols. Table 229 contrasts theoutput produced by these various techniques. As the table illustrates, these techniques exhibit variation intheir formatting of Latin letters (upright vs. italic), formatting of Greek letters (bold vs. normal), formatting ofoperators and relations (bold vs. normal), and spacing.

7.6 ASCII and Latin 1 quick reference

Table 230 on the next page amalgamates data from various other tables in this document into a convenientreference for LATEX 2ε typesetting of ASCII characters, i.e., the characters available on a typical U.S. computerkeyboard. The first two columns list the character’s ASCII code in decimal and hexadecimal. The third columnshows what the character looks like. The fourth column lists the LATEX 2ε command to typeset the character as atext character. And the fourth column lists the LATEX 2ε command to typeset the character within a \texttt. . .command (or, more generally, when \ttfamily is in effect).

The following are some additional notes about the contents of Table 230:8Note that \displaystyle can be used to force display style within $. . .$ and \textstyle can be used to force text style

within \[. . .\].

• “"” is not available in the OT1 font encoding.

• The characters “<”, “>”, and “|” do work as expected in math mode, although they produce, respectively,“¡”, “¿”, and “—” in text mode when using the OT1 font encoding.9 The following are some alternativesfor typesetting “<”, “>”, and “|”:

– Specify a document font encoding other than OT1 (as described on page 6).

– Use the appropriate symbol commands from Table 2 on page 7, viz. \textless, \textgreater, and\textbar.

– Enter the symbols in math mode instead of text mode, i.e., $<$, $>$, and $|$.

Note that for typesetting metavariables many people prefer \textlangle and \textrangle to \textlessand \textgreater, i.e., “〈filename〉” instead of “<filename>”.

• Although “/” does not require any special treatment, LATEX additionally defines a \slash command whichoutputs the same glyph but permits a line break afterwards. That is, “increase/decrease” is alwaystypeset as a single entity while “increase\slashdecrease” may be typeset with “increase/” on one lineand “decrease” on the next.

• \textasciicircum can be used instead of \^, and \textasciitilde can be used instead of \~. Notethat \textasciitilde and \~ produce raised, diacritic tildes. “Text” (i.e., vertically centered) tildes canbe generated with either the math-mode \sim command (shown in Table 55 on page 24), which produces

9Donald Knuth didn’t think such symbols were important outside of mathematics so he omitted them from his text fonts.

77

Page 78: The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List - Statistics at UC ...partha/symbols.pdf · The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List Scott Pakin  3 January 2008 Abstract

a somewhat wide “∼”, or the textcomp package’s \texttildelow (shown in Table 35 on page 18), whichproduces a vertically centered “~” in most fonts but a baseline-oriented “~” in Computer Modern, txfonts,pxfonts, and various other fonts originating from the TEX world. If your goal is to typeset tildes in URLs orUnix filenames, your best bet is to use the url package, which has a number of nice features such as properline-breaking of such names.

• The various \char commands within \texttt are necessary only in the OT1 font encoding. In otherencodings (e.g., T1), commands such as \, \, \_, and \textbackslash all work properly.

• The code page 437 (IBM PC) version of ASCII characters 1 to 31 can be typeset using the ascii package.See Table 159 on page 47.

• To replace “‘” and “’” with the more computer-like (and more visibly distinct) “`” and “'” within averbatim environment, use the upquote package. Outside of verbatim, you can use \char18 and \char13to get the modified quote characters. (The former is actually a grave accent.)

Similar to Table 230, Table 231 on the next page is an amalgamation of data from other tables in thisdocument. While Table 230 shows how to typeset the 7-bit ASCII character set, Table 231 shows the Latin 1(Western European) character set, also known as ISO-8859-1.

The following are some additional notes about the contents of Table 231:

• A “(tc)” after a symbol name means that the textcomp package must be loaded to access that symbol. A“(T1)” means that the symbol requires the T1 font encoding. The fontenc package can change the fontencoding document-wide.

• Many of the \text. . . accents can also be produced using the accent commands shown in Table 18 onpage 12 plus an empty argument. For instance, \= is essentially the same as \textasciimacron.

• The commands in the “LATEX 2ε” columns work both in body text and within a \texttt. . . command(or, more generally, when \ttfamily is in effect).

• The “£” and “$” glyphs occupy the same slot (36) of the OT1 font encoding, with “£” appearing in italicfonts and “$” appearing in roman fonts. A problem with LATEX’s default handling of this double-mapping isthat “\sffamily\slshape\pounds” produces “$”, not “£”. Other font encodings use separate slots forthe two characters and are therefore robust to the problem of “£”/”$” conflicts. Authors who use \poundsshould select a font encoding other than OT1 (as explained on page 6) or use the textcomp package, whichredefines \pounds to use the TS1 font encoding.

• Character 173, \-, is shown as “-” but is actually a discretionary hyphen; it appears only at the end of aline.

Microsoft® Windows® normally uses a superset of Latin 1 called “Code Page 1252” or “CP1252” for short.CP1252 introduces symbols in the Latin 1 “invalid” range (characters 128–159). Table 232 presents the characterswith which CP1252 augments the standard Latin 1 table.

The following are some additional notes about the contents of Table 232:

• As in Table 231, a “(tc)” after a symbol name means that the textcomp package must be loaded to accessthat symbol. A “(T1)” means that the symbol requires the T1 font encoding. The fontenc package canchange the font encoding document-wide.

• Not all characters in the 128–159 range are defined.

• Look up “euro signs” in the index for alternatives to \texteuro.

While too large to incorporate into this document, a listing of ISO 8879:1986 SGML/XML character entitiesand their LATEX equivalents is available from http://www.bitjungle.com/~isoent/. Some of the characterspresented there make use of isoent, a LATEX 2ε package (available from the same URL) that fakes some of themissing ISO glyphs using the LATEX picture environment.10

10isoent is not featured in this document, because it is not available from CTAN and because the faked symbols are not “true”characters; they exist in only one size, regardless of the body text’s font size.

7.7 About this document

History David Carlisle wrote the first version of this document in October, 1994. It originally contained allof the native LATEX symbols (Tables 39, 47, 55, 77, 90, 92, 106, 107, 115, 118, 139, and a few tables that havesince been reorganized) and was designed to be nearly identical to the tables in Chapter 3 of Leslie Lamport’sbook [Lam86]. Even the table captions and the order of the symbols within each table matched! The AMSsymbols (Tables 40, 56, 57, 80, 81, 93, 97, 103, and 140) and an initial Math Alphabets table (Table 147) wereadded thereafter. Later, Alexander Holt provided the stmaryrd tables (Tables 41, 49, 58, 83, 88, and 104).

In January, 2001, Scott Pakin took responsibility for maintaining the symbol list and has since implementeda complete overhaul of the document. The result, now called, “The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List”, includesthe following new features:

• the addition of a handful of new math alphabets, dozens of new font tables, and thousands of new symbols

• the categorization of the symbol tables into body-text symbols, mathematical symbols, science and tech-nology symbols, dingbats, and other symbols, to provide a more user-friendly document structure

• an index, table of contents, and a frequently-requested symbol list, to help users quickly locate symbols

• symbol tables rewritten to list the symbols in alphabetical order

• appendices to provide additional information relevant to using symbols in LATEX

• tables showing how to typeset all of the characters in the ASCII and Latin 1 font encodings

Furthermore, the internal structure of the document has been completely altered from David’s original version.Most of the changes are geared towards making the document easier to extend, modify, and reformat.

Build characteristics Table 233 on the following page lists some of this document’s build characteristics. Mostimportant is the list of packages that LATEX couldn’t find, but that symbols.tex otherwise would have been able totake advantage of. Complete, prebuilt versions of this document are available from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/or one of its many mirror sites) in the directory tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive. Table 234 showsthe package date (specified in the .sty file with \ProvidesPackage) for each package that was used to build thisdocument and that specifies a package date. Packages are not listed in any particular order in either Table 233or 234.

Index

If you’re having trouble locating a symbol, try looking under “T” for “\text. . .”. Many text-mode commands begin withthat prefix. Also, accents are shown over/under a gray box, e.g., “ a ” for “\’”.

Some symbol entries appear to be listed repeatedly. This happens when multiple packages define identical (or nearlyidentical) glyphs with the same symbol name.
