The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List - MIT Mathematics

2 Body-text symbolsThis section lists symbols that are intended for use in running text, such as punctuation marks, accents,ligatures, and currency symbols.Table 1: L A TEX 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 L A TEX 2ε Text-mode Commandsˆ \textasciicircum < \textless˜ \textasciitildeaª \textordfeminine∗ \textasteriskcenteredoº \textordmasculine\ \textbackslash \textparagraph ∗| \textbar · \textperiodcentered{ \textbraceleft ∗ ¿ \textquestiondown} \textbraceright ∗ “ \textquotedblleft• \textbullet ” \textquotedblrightc○ © \textcopyright ∗ ‘ \textquoteleft† \textdagger ∗ ’ \textquoteright‡ \textdaggerdbl ∗ r○ ® \textregistered$ \textdollar ∗ § \textsection ∗. . . \textellipsis ∗ £ \textsterling ∗— \textemdash TM \texttrademark– \textendash \textunderscore ∗¡ \textexclamdown \textvisiblespace> \textgreaterWhere two symbols are present, the left one is the “faked” symbol that L A TEX 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.Table 3: L A TEX 2ε Commands Defined to Work in Both Math and Text Mode$ \$ \_ ‡ \ddag { \{ \P c○ © \copyright . . . \dots } \}§ \S † \dag £ \poundsWhere two symbols are present, the left one is the “faked” symbol that L A TEX 2εprovides by default, and the right one is the “true” symbol that textcomp makesavailable.Table 4: AMS Commands Defined to Work in Both Math and Text Modě \checkmark R \circledR ✠ \maltese7
