Appendix B - jqmath Symbols

The following table shows the essential Unicode mathematical symbols that can be used in jqmath. Just mark the desired symbol with your mouse and copy it in the program of your choice. All the rest of this section is a direct (partial) copy from the jqmath web page. Note, on the jqmath web page you can interactively assemble your equation by just clicking on the respective symbol which is then copied in an input field.
