Learn how the Unicode Standard encodes almost all standard characters used in mathematics, such as operators, symbols, and diacritical marks. See the comprehensive list of Unicode blocks and characters with a derived property of "Math".
Learn how to use subscripts and superscripts in different contexts, such as chemistry, mathematics, fractions, and abbreviations. See examples, typesetting tips, and special characters for subscripts and superscripts.
display=inline generates a smaller summation sign and moves the limits on the sum to the right side of the summation sign. The code for this is <math display = inline>\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n^2 = \pi^2/6</math>, and it renders as the much more aesthetic = / = /. However, the default font for inline formula is different from the normal text font.
Learn about the history, typography and variations of the integral symbol ∫, used to denote integrals and antiderivatives in mathematics. The symbol was invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1675 and has different forms in different languages.
A superscript or subscript is text that is positioned slightly above or below the normal line of type. Superscripts and subscripts are often rendered in a smaller font size than the adjacent normal text. This part of the Manual of Style aims to achieve consistency in the use and formatting of superscripts and subscripts in Wikipedia articles.
These characters allow any polynomial, chemical and certain other equations to be represented in plain text without using any form of markup like HTML or TeX. The World Wide Web Consortium and the Unicode Consortium have made recommendations on the choice between using markup and using superscript and subscript characters:
