The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List

The following are some additional notes about the contents of Table 288:• 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 thefont encoding document-wide.• Many of the \text. . . accents can also be produced using the accent commands shown in Table 18 onpage 13 plus an empty argument. For instance, \={} is essentially the same as \textasciimacron.• The commands in the “L A TEX 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 L A TEX’s default handling of this double-mappingis that “{\sffamily\slshape\pounds}” produces “$”, not “£”. Other font encodings use separate slotsfor the two characters and are therefore robust to the problem of “£”/”$” conflicts. Authors who use\pounds should select a font encoding other than OT1 (as explained on page 7) or use the textcomppackage, which redefines \pounds to use the TS1 font encoding.• Character 173, \-, is shown as “-” but is actually a discretionary hyphen; it appears only at the end ofa line.Microsoft ® Windows ® normally uses a superset of Latin 1 called “Code Page 1252” or “CP1252” forshort. CP1252 introduces symbols in the Latin 1 “invalid” range (characters 128–159). Table 289 presents thecharacters with which CP1252 augments the standard Latin 1 table.Table 289: L A TEX 2ε Code Page 1252 TableDec Hex Char L A TEX 2ε128 80 € \texteuro (tc)130 82 ‚ \quotesinglbase (T1)131 83 f \textit{f}132 84 „ \quotedblbase (T1)133 85 . . . \dots134 86 † \dag135 87 ‡ \ddag136 88 ˆ \textasciicircum137 89 ‰ \textperthousand (tc)138 8A Š \v{S}139 8B ‹ \guilsinglleft (T1)140 8C Œ \OE142 8E Ž \v{Z}Dec Hex Char L A TEX 2ε145 91 ‘ ‘146 92 ’ ’147 93 “ ‘‘148 94 ” ’’149 95 • \textbullet150 96 – --151 97 — ---152 98 ˜ \textasciitilde153 99 \texttrademark154 9A š \v{s}155 9B › \guilsinglright (T1)156 9C œ \oe158 9E ž \v{z}159 9F Ÿ \"{Y}The following are some additional notes about the contents of Table 289:• As in Table 288, 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 L A TEX equivalents is available from http://www.bitjungle.com/~isoent/. Some of the characterspresented there make use of isoent, a L A TEX 2ε package (available from the same URL) that fakes some of themissing ISO glyphs using the L A TEX picture environment. 1313 isoent 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.103
