  • The requested character is...
    • Latin
    • Cyrillic
    • Greek
    • Punctuation
    • Symbol
  • Some other monospace/programming fonts supported this character. Provide images below.

what these symbols look like:

and currently most of them are missing, especially SCRIPT CAPITAL/SMALL X, BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL/SMALL X, DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL/SMALL X symbols (which are also the most useful):

for example, DOUBLE-STRUCK SMALL E & I are utilized in SymPy's output formatting:

In [1]: from sympy import *

In [2]: init_printing(use_unicode=True)

In [3]: exp(1j*pi)
Out[3]:
 1.0π

Slightly different, though very like the dupe of #444.

The latest alpha covered all the double-struck (or blackboard-bold) letters in Unicode, which contain .

For other letter kinds:

  • Most letters in block Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols are derivable from conventional letters.
  • Fraktur (blackletter) may be not that hard and could align well with current geometry code.
  • Script (swash) letters are extremely hard. They may be added much later, and perhaps done in a graphical flavor, rather than using code.

All these I believe are doable - I am unaware if some of them have been implemented yet. I also added Gimel and Dalet for this block as the Alef and Bet symbols have been added already.
