HTML Mathematical Operators and Relations

In order to create a symbol that is not already on your keyboard, your must use a code. The codes for the following symbols are listed under the Number Code and Letter Code columns of the chart below. Either code will work.

To add them to a post, simply go to New Post, make sure the post is in Edit Html mode, and copy and paste one of the corresponding codes that I have provided. Then Publish Post.

SymbolNumber CodeLetter CodeExplanation of Symbol
∀∀ for all
∂∂ partial differential
∃∃ there exists
∅ empty set, null set, diameter
∇ nabla, backward difference
∈ element of
∉ not an element of
∋ contains as member
∏ n-ary product, product sign
∑ n-ary sumation
− minus sign
∗ asterisk operator
√ square root, radical sign
∝ proportional to
∞ infinity
∠ angle
∧ logical and, wedge
∨ logical or, vee
∩ intersection, cap
∪ union, cup
∫ integral
∴ therefore
∼ tilde operator, varies with, similar to
≅ approximately equal to
≈ almost equal to, asymptotic to
≠ not equal to
≡ identical to
≤ less-than or equal to
≥ greater-than or equal to
⊂ subset of
⊃ superset of
⊄ not a subset of
⊆ subset of or equal to
⊇ superset of or equal to
⊕ circled plus, direct sum
⊗ circled times, vector product
⊥ up tack, orthogonal to, perpendicular
⋅dot operator
