Note: [1][2]

Mathematical Operators is a Unicode block containing characters for mathematical, logical, and set notation.

Notably absent are the plus sign (+), greater than sign (>) and less than sign (<), due to them already appearing in the Basic Latin Unicode block, and the multiplication sign (×) and obelus (÷), due to them already appearing in the Latin-1 Supplement block, although a distinct minus sign (−) is included, differing from the Basic Latin hyphen-minus (-).

The block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[3]

History

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Mathematical Operators block:
