Unicode has a wealth of alphanumeric characters intended for mathematical notation, many of which are listed here. Those used in this report are taken from the 26-character sequence &#x1D5D4; = 𝗔 through &#x1D5ED; = 𝗭, where the numbers are in hexadecimal.

In this report, italics are achieved through ordinary HTML markup, for example <i>A</i> = A. Unicode does define special mathematical characters that might have been used for this purpose, starting at code point &#x1D434; = 𝐴. Font renderings vary, and the glyphs of the two A's will not necessarily be identical.


In general, this report uses subscripts as in the table above for the components and attributes of a licht. An operation to create a new licht from old one(s) uses other notations, such as prefix: rev (A); or infix: A + B.

Here are some other characters, these having helpful names:
