MS Word Tricks: Typing Math Symbols 2015-05-14 Category: MS Office. Typing math symbols into Word can be tedious. Thankfully, there is a faster way. The default way of doing it is to use the Insert Symbols More Symbols dialog, where you can hunt for the symbol you want. As Office-Watch reader, Peter C. Noted in an email to us “I cannot seem to access symbols not visible in the panel, has Microsoft intentionally restricted the range of non-keyboard characters and symbols available on the Mac version of Word? The Word for Mac dialog only shows the first 228 characters in a font! That’s OK for an old-fashioned ASCII font but modern Unicode fonts can have.

To enter math equations in Microsoft Word (365. 16 rows In Word, you can insert mathematical symbols into equations or text by using the equation.
All math symbols are primarily used with numerals and should align, space and work well with the numerals. Many of them share the same advance width, particularly math operators. Traditionally math signs were not part of the standard font set. Math signs also traditionally are only upright. Some designers are creating and arguing about the need for italic math operators.
Math symbols advance width
Advance width is proportional to the typeface and the numeral design. Traditionally larger than the figure space width in most regular width fonts. It is common for type designers to make the math widths equal to the figure width. In some typefaces with larger numerals the math signs advance widths are smaller. Example Adobe Minion is overall a medium width typeface and its figure width is 944 units and its math widths are 1272 units. The em is 2000 units. Bookman Old Style's has very wide numerals and the figure width is 1270 and the math width is 1229. The em is 2048 units.
Plus sign
Unicode: U+002BAlignment : Traditionally placed slightly lower than center on the figure height. Often on the baseline.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Minus
Unicode: U+2212Alignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Equals
Unicode: U+003DAlignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.

Not equal
Unicode: U+2260Mac microsoft word print black and white test page. Design : The design is based on the equals and should be the same horizontal length, vertical height and stem thickness as the equals.
Alignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign with the same alignment as the equals.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Less than
Unicode: U+003CGreater than
Unicode: U+003EAlignment : Traditionally placed slightly lower than center on the figure height and centering on the plus sign. Often the lowest point is on the baseline.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Less than or equal
Unicode: U+2264Alignment : Traditionally placed slightly lower than center on the figure height and centering on the plus sign. The bar should align with Greater Than or Equal character and PlusMinus character bars. Often the bar is also on the baseline.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Greater than or equal
Unicode: U+2265Alignment : Traditionally placed slightly lower than center on the figure height and centering on the plus sign. The bar should align with Less Than or Equal character and PlusMinus character bars. Often the bar is also on the baseline.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Plus minus
Unicode: U+00B1Design : Lower minus bar aligns with Greater Than or Equals and Less Than or Equals bar. Not necessarily on the baseline and the plus sign does not necessarily connect with the minus in all fonts.
Alignment : Bottom minus bar aligns with the Greater Than or Equals and Less Than or Equals bar and vertically visually centered on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Multiply
Unicode: U+00D7Alignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Period centered - bullet operator
Unicode: U+2219Note : In the Latin 1 code page 1252 for Windows this is the character used for position decimal 183. This is both a Math operator and centering period punctuation character used in the Catalan language. With the Catalan and Spanish keyboards this character is commonly used as a mid dot to separate lowercase and uppercase L characters that are not part of the same syllable in a word. In many typefaces the period character maybe considered too large to be used as a mid dot in the Catalan language and a substitute glyph for the lowercase l and uppercase L would be more appropriate. OpenType fonts support glyph substitution.
Design : Same design and size as the period.
Alignment : Vertically centers on the figure height.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the period width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
ASCII tilde
Unicode: U+007EDesign : This character is used in mathematics as an operator for 'is proportional or similar to'. This character is also commonly used in text as a sign of approximation. The double tilde U+2248 is the correct mathematical operator for ' is approximately equal to'.
Example of common usage : One inch is ~72 point in traditonal typography.
This is not the same design and character as the lowercase spacing tilde diacritic.
Alignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
ASCII circumflex
Unicode: U+005EThis character, often called a 'caret' is used in mathematical expressions for exponents.
The expression 2^5 is read 'two to the power of five'.
It is also used by some computer programming languages as a symbol. In Pascal and Modula-2 it is used to signify a pointer to a variable.
This is not the same design and character as the lowercase spacing circumflex diacritic.
Alignment : Aligns to the figure height
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Degree
Unicode: U+00B0Alignment : Aligns to the figure height overshoot
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Logical not
Unicode: U+00ACThis character is used in mathematical expressions as a sign of negation.
Design : Horizontal length is the same as the horizontal length of the plus sign. Vertical stem is the same length and thickness as the plus vertical strokes. Design of the strokes is the same as the plus sign.
Alignment : Vertically centers in some designs on the plus sign or others on the figure height.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.
Spacing : This character should space between figure zeros.
Approximately equal
Unicode: U+2248Alignment : Vertically centers on the plus sign.
Advance width : Advance width should be the same as the figure space width.

-->Overview
Cambria has been designed for on-screen reading and to look good when printed at small sizes. It has very even spacing and proportions. Diagonal and vertical hairlines and serifs are relatively strong, while horizontal serifs are small and intend to emphasize stroke endings rather than stand out themselves. This principle is most noticeable in the italics where the lowercase characters are subdued in style to be at their best as elements of word-images. When Cambria is used for captions at sizes over 20 point, the inter-character spacing should be slightly reduced for best results. The design isn't just intended for business documents: The regular weight has been extended with a large set of math and science symbols. The Greek and Cyrillic has been designed under close supervision of an international team of experts, who aimed to set a historical new standard in multi-script type design.
