Tables of styled letters and digits

These tables show all styled forms of Latin and Greek letters, symbols and digits in the Unicode Standard, with the normal unstyled forms of these characters shown with a cyan background (the basic unstyled letters may be serif or sans-serif depending upon the font). The styled characters are mostly located in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, but the 24 characters in cells with a pink background are located in the letterlike symbols block, for example, ℛ (script capital r) is at U+211B rather than the expected U+1D4AD which is reserved. In the code charts for the Unicode Standard, the reserved code points corresponding to the pink cell are annotated with the name and code point of the correct character.⁴ There are a few characters which have names that suggest that they should belong in the tables below, but in fact do not because their official character names are misnomers:

• U+2113 ℓ SCRIPT SMALL L; "despite its character name, this symbol is derived from a special italicized version of the small letter l".⁵ It has various other specialized uses, such as a liter symbol and as the azimuthal quantum number symbol.
• U+2118 ℘ SCRIPT CAPITAL P is a symbol for Weierstrass's elliptic function.⁶ It is officially aliased as U+2118 ℘ WEIERSTRASS ELLIPTIC FUNCTION.

Latin letters

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below, except those shown with pink backgrounds or index values of '–', are obtained by adding the base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column (both values are hexadecimal).

Greek letters and symbols

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below, except those shown with yellow backgrounds or index values of '–', are obtained by adding the base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column (both values are hexadecimal).

Digits

The Unicode values of the characters in the tables below are obtained by adding the hexadecimal base values from the "U+" header row to the index values in the left column.

Glyph variants

Variation selectors may be used to specify chancery (U+FE00) vs roundhand (U+FE01) forms, if a computer font is available that supports them:
