4 Science and technology symbols<br />

This section lists symbols that are employed in various branches of science and engineering.<br />

Table 214: gensymb <strong>Symbol</strong>s Defined to Work in Both Math and Text Mode<br />

℃ \celsius µ \micro ‰ \perthousand<br />

° \degree Ω \ohm<br />

Table 215: wasysym Electrical and Physical <strong>Symbol</strong>s<br />

\AC \VHF \photon F \HF \gluon<br />

Table 216: ifsym Pulse Diagram <strong>Symbol</strong>s<br />

\FallingEdge \LongPulseLow \PulseLow \ShortPulseHigh<br />

\LongPulseHigh \PulseHigh \RaisingEdge \ShortPulseLow<br />

In addition, within \textifsym{. . .}, the following codes are valid:<br />

l m h d < ><br />

L M H D ><br />

This enables one to write “\textifsym{mmmm}” to get “” or<br />

“\textifsym{L|H|L|H|L}” to get “”. See also the timing package, which<br />

provides a wide variety of pulse-diagram symbols within an environment designed<br />

specifically for typesetting pulse diagrams.<br />

Finally, \textifsym supports the display of segmented digits, as would appear on an<br />

LCD: “\textifsym{-123.456}” produces “”. “\textifsym{b}” outputs<br />

a blank with the same width as an “”.<br />

Table 217: ar Aspect Ratio <strong>Symbol</strong><br />
