263 9 with a Windows shortcut that worksOperators, relations and notation for arithmetic, algebra, calculus, logic and set theory. Includes the signs Word and Excel cannot produce from the keyboard, such as plus-minus, multiplication, division, square root, integral and the inequality relations.
This group holds 263 characters. They are scattered from U+003C to U+1D7B9, 120,702 codepoints apart, because they were added to Unicode at different times and for different reasons. They are drawn from Mathematical Operators (137), Supplemental Mathematical Operators (104), Miscellaneous Technical (6), Latin-1 Supplement (3) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.
Most of the traffic to this group is for √, ± and ÷. The phrase people type for the first of those is square root symbol, which is worth knowing if you are looking for it under another name.
Most of them, 137 of the 263, come from Mathematical Operators: the core set of mathematical and logical operators. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from 9 of them. The rest come from Basic Latin, Cyrillic and General Punctuation among others.
9 of the 263 have a Windows Alt code that works as printed. The rest are copy and paste, which works the same everywhere.
Of the 263, 7 have a Mac shortcut of their own. Everything else in this drawer is reached by copying it or by its codepoint, which works in every application on every system.
10 have a compatibility decomposition, which means NFKC normalisation rewrites it into something plainer and a search box may not return what was pasted into it.
Every character below copies with one click. 24 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
