Abstract
This document lists 18150 symbols and the corresponding LATEX commands that produce them.
Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every LATEX 2𝜀 system; others require fonts and packages that may not accompany a given distribution and that therefore need to be installed.
All of the fonts and packages used to prepare this document—as well as this document itself—are freely available from the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (http://www.ctan.org/).

1 Introduction
Welcome to the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List! This document strives to be your primary source of LATEX symbol information: font samples, LATEX commands, packages, usage details, caveats—everything needed to put thousands of different symbols at your disposal. All of the fonts covered herein meet the following criteria:
1. They are freely available from the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (http://www.ctan.org/).
2. All of their symbols have LATEX 2𝜀 bindings. That is, a user should be able to access a symbol by name (e.g., \bigtriangleup)
As of version 12 of the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List, that second restriction has been relaxed with the inclusion of Section 10, which showcases fonts that provide, at a minimum, either TEX font-metric files (.tfm) or theMETAFONT sources (.mf) that produce those font-metric files. Some of the Section 10 fonts do include LATEX font-definition files (.fd). However, what sets the fonts in Section 10 apart from the fonts in rest of the document is that they lack a LATEX style file (.sty) that individually names each of the glyphs.
The restrictions listed above are not particularly limiting criteria; the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List contains samples of 18150 symbols—quite a large number. Some of these symbols are guaran- teed to be available in every LATEX 2𝜀 system; others require fonts and packages that may not ac- company a given distribution and that therefore need to be installed. See http://www.tex.ac.uk/
FAQ-installthings.html for help with installing new fonts and packages.
1.1 Document Usage
Each section of this document contains a number of font tables. Each table shows a set of symbols, with the corresponding LATEX command to the right of each symbol. A table’s caption indicates what package needs to be loaded in order to access that table’s symbols. For example, the symbols in Ta- ble 45, “textcomp Old-Style Numerals”, are made available by putting “\usepackage{textcomp}” in your document’s preamble. “𝒜ℳ𝒮” means to use the 𝒜ℳ𝒮 packages, viz. amssymb and/or amsmath.
Notes below a table provide additional information about some or all the symbols in that table.
One note that appears a few times in this document, particularly in Section 2, indicates that certain symbols do not exist in the OT1 font encoding (Donald Knuth’s original, 7-bit font encoding, which is the default font encoding for LATEX) and that you should use fontenc to select a different encoding, such as T1 (a common 8-bit font encoding). That means that you should put “\usepackage[⟨encoding⟩]{fontenc}”
in your document’s preamble, where ⟨encoding⟩ is, e.g., T1 or LY1. To limit the change in font encoding to the current group, use “\fontencoding{⟨encoding⟩}\selectfont”.
Section 11 contains some additional information about the symbols in this document. It discusses how certain mathematical symbols can vary in height, shows which symbol names are not unique across packages, gives examples of how to create new symbols out of existing symbols, explains how symbols are spaced in math mode, compares various schemes for boldfacing symbols, presents LATEX ASCII and Latin 1 tables, shows how to input and output Unicode characters, and provides some information about this document itself. The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List ends with an index of all the symbols in the document and various additional useful terms.
A companion document, Raw Font Tables, also presents a large number of symbols but with a very different structure from this document. Raw Font Tables includes only symbols produced via a font file, while this document also includes composite symbols (combinations of two or more glyphs) and symbols drawn as pictures (using, e.g., Tik Z). This document sorts symbols by category while Raw Font Tables sorts symbols by underlying font file. The two documents are intended to complement each other. It is usually easier to find a desired symbol in The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List, but Raw Font Tables is helpful for identifying related symbols, for finding symbols that exist in some font but are not exposed to the user via a LATEX package (or that this document inadvertently overlooked), and for the font name and character position needed to typeset a single symbol in isolation. The last of those is especially important for math symbols. TEX imposes a limitation of at most 16 math alphabets per document, but symbols typeset with \font and \char are text symbols and do not consume a math alphabet. (They are less convenient to use within a mathematical expression, however.)
1.2 Frequently Requested Symbols
There are a number of symbols that are requested over and over again on comp.text.tex. If you’re looking for such a symbol the following list will help you find it quickly.

2 Body-text symbols
This section lists symbols that are intended for use in running text, such as punctuation marks, accents, ligatures, and currency symbols.

*The underscore package redefines “_” to produce an underscore in text mode (i.e., it makes it unnecessary to escape the underscore character).

The first symbol column represents the—sometimes “faked”—symbol that LATEX 2𝜀 provides by default. The second symbol column represents the sym- bol as redefined by textcomp (if textcomp redefines it). The textcomp package is generally required to typeset Table 2’s symbols in italic, and some symbols additionally require the T1 font encoding for italic.
*\^{} and \~{} can be used instead of \textasciicircum and
\textasciitilde. See the discussion of “˜” on page 271.
†It’s generally preferable to use the corresponding symbol from Table 3 on the following page because the symbols in that table work properly in both text mode and math mode.

*Synonyms for \textmu include \textmicro and \textmugreek.
textgreek tries to use a Greek font that matches the body text. As a result, the glyphs may appear slightly different from the above.
Unlike upgreek (Table 191 on page 95), textgreek works in text mode.
The symbols in this table are intended to be used sporadically throughout a document (e.g., in phrases such as “β-decay”). In contrast, Greek body text can be typeset using the babel package’s greek (or polutonikogreek) option—
and, of course, a font that provides the glyphs for the Greek alphabet.

These characters all need the T4 font encoding, which is provided by the fc package.
*\m{v} and \m{V} are synonyms for \m{u} and \m{U}.

These characters all need the T5 font encoding, which is provided by the vntex package.

« \guillemetleft* ‹ \guilsinglleft „ \quotedblbase " \textquotedbl
» \guillemetright* › \guilsinglright ‚ \quotesinglbase
*Older versions of LATEX misspelled these as \guillemotleft and
\guillemotright. The older names are still retained for backward compati- bility.
To get these symbols, use the fontenc package to select an alternate font en- coding, such as T1.

The idea behind the t4phonet package’s phonetic symbols is to provide an interface to some of the characters in the T4 font encoding (Table 7 on page 17) but using the same names as the tipa characters presented in Table 11 on page 18.

†Not available in the OT1 font encoding. Use the fontenc package to select an alternate font encoding, such as T1.
‡Requires the T4 font encoding, provided by the fc package.
SRequires the T5 font encoding, provided by the vntex package.
¶Requires one of the Cyrillic font encodings (T2A, T2B, T2C, or X2). Use the fontenc package to select an encoding.
Also note the existence of \i and \j, which produce dotless versions of “i”
and “j” (viz., “ı” and “ȷ”). These are useful when the accent is supposed to replace the dot in encodings that need to composite (i.e., combine) letters and accents. For example, “na\"{\i}ve” always produces a correct “na¨ıve”, while
“na\"{i}ve” yields the rather odd-looking “na¨ive” when using the OT1 font encoding and older versions of LATEX. Font encodings other than OT1 and newer versions of LATEX properly typeset “na\"{i}ve” as “na¨ıve”.

The phonetic package provides a few additional macros for linguistic accents.
\acbar and \acarc compose characters with multiple accents; for example,
\acbar{\’}{a} produces “´¯a” and \acarc{\"}{e} produces “¨{e”. \labvel joins two characters with an arc: \labvel{mn} → “ ⌢mn”. \upbar is intended to go between characters as in “x\upbar{}y’’ → “x y”. Lastly, \uplett behaves like \textsuperscript but uses a smaller font. Contrast “p\uplett{h}’’ →
“ph” with “p\textsuperscript{h}’’ → “ph”.

The idea behind the t4phonet package’s text-mode accents is to provide an interface to some of the accents in the T4 font encoding (accents marked with
“‡” in Table 18 on page 21) but using the same names as the tipa accents presented in Table 19 on page 22.

\overarc{A}\overarc{a} ⌣A⌣a \underarc{A}\underarc{a}
The accents shown above scale only to a few characters wide. An optional macro argument alters the effective width of the accented characters. See the arcs documentation for more information.
At the time of this writing (2015/11/12), there exists an incompatibility be- tween the arcs package and the relsize package, upon which arcs depends. As a workaround, one should apply the patch proposed by Michael Sharpe on the X E TEX mailing list (Subject: “The arcs package”, dated 2013/08/25) to pre- vent spurious text from being added to the document (as in, “5.0ptA⌢” when
“A⌢” is expected).

Table 27: ogonek Accents A˓a˓ \k{A}\k{a}
Table 28: combelow Accents A,a, \cb{A}\cb{a}
\cb places a comma above letters with descenders. Hence, while “\cb{s}”

The wsuipa package defines all of the above as ordinary characters, not as accents. However, it does provide \diatop and \diaunder commands, which are used to compose diacritics with other characters. For example,
\diatop[\overring|a] produces “xa”, and \diaunder[\underdots|a] pro- duces “ra”. See the wsuipa documentation for more information.

3 Mathematical symbols
Most, but not all, of the symbols in this section are math-mode only. That is, they yield a “Missing $ inserted” error message if not used within$. . .$, \[. . .\], or another math-mode environment. Opera- tors marked as “variable-sized” are taller in displayed formulas, shorter in in-text formulas, and possibly shorter still when used in various levels of superscripts or subscripts.
Alphanumeric symbols (e.g., “ℒ ” and “”) are usually produced using one of the math alphabets in Table 316 rather than with an explicit symbol command. Look there first if you need a symbol for a transform, number set, or some other alphanumeric.
Although there have been many requests on comp.text.tex for a contradiction symbol, the ensuing discussion invariably reveals innumerable ways to represent contradiction in a proof, in- cluding “ ” (\blitza), “⇒⇐” (\Rightarrow\Leftarrow), “⊥” (\bot), “=” (\nleftrightarrow), and “※” (\textreferencemark). Because of the lack of notational consensus, it is probably bet- ter to spell out “Contradiction!” than to use a symbol for this purpose. Similarly, discussions on comp.text.tex have revealed that there are a variety of ways to indicate the mathematical notion of “is defined as”. Common candidates include “,” (\triangleq), “≡” (\equiv), “B” (various1), and
“def=” (\stackrel{\text{\tiny def}}{=}). See also the example of \equalsfill on page 264. Depend- ing upon the context, disjoint union may be represented as “∐︀” (\coprod), “⊔” (\sqcup), “ ·∪” (\dotcup),
“⊕” (\oplus), or any of a number of other symbols.2 Finally, the average value of a variable 𝑥 is written by some people as “𝑥” (\overline{x}), by some people as “⟨𝑥⟩” (\langle x \rangle), and by some people as “𝑥” or “∅𝑥” (\diameter x or \varnothing x). The moral of the story is that you should be careful always to explain your notation to avoid confusing your readers.

$ \mathdollar ¶ \mathparagraph £ \mathsterling . . . \mathellipsis S \mathsection \mathunderscore It’s generally preferable to use the corresponding symbol from Table 3 on page 16 because the symbols in that table work properly in both text mode and math mode.
Table 49: cmll Unary Operators
! \oc* ˆ \shneg ? \wn*
˜ \shift ´ \shpos
*\oc and \wn differ from “!” and “?” in terms of their math-mode spacing:
$A=!B$ produces “𝐴 =!𝐵”, for example, while $A=\oc B$ produces “𝐴 = !𝐵”.
1In txfonts, pxfonts, and mathtools the symbol is called \coloneqq. In mathabx and MnSymbol it’s called \coloneq. In colonequals it’s called \colonequals.
2Bob Tennent listed these and other disjoint-union symbol possibilities in a November 2007 post to comp.text.tex.
