Thank you for the detailed explanation, Asmus. Is there a standard denoting which characters are part of each "mathematical variable alphabet"? There is a table on Wikipedia < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols#Latin_letters> but the placement of characters into the

I was surprised to find out that there are gaps in the Mathematical alphanumeric symbols block (U+1d400 to u+1d7ff). The gaps are associated with the inclusion of similar symbols in other blocks, chiefly the Letterlike Symbols Block. Examples of such gaps include U+1d49d, U+1d506, etc
