	Note:

Mathematical Operators is a Unicode block containing characters for mathematical, logical, and set notation.

Quick facts Range, Plane ...

This article contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols.

Notably absent are the plus sign ( $+$ ), greater than sign ( $>$ ) and less than sign ( $<$ ), due to them already appearing in the Basic Latin Unicode block, and the plus-or-minus sign ( $\pm$ ), multiplication sign ( $\times$ ) and obelus ( $\div$ ), due to them already appearing in the Latin-1 Supplement block, although a distinct minus sign ( $-$ ) is included, semantically different from the Basic Latin hyphen-minus (-).
