Hi Bertrand, hi all,

so you are looking for a font containing this symbol, is that right?

Whenever a specific code is required as a letter, I am always refering first to the Arial MS Unicode, and then to one of the Google fonts, namely the NOTO-family. Both fonts or font systems are claiming to incorporate a big amount of unicode values as available letters.

When I flip through the Google font library, only 2 fonts would display this special mathematical character, the "Overpass mono" (a font that I do not know) and the "NOTO sans math" which I would recommend. This font contains the round bracket letters as well as the squared ones, besides more than 1000 mathematical symbols in total.

The NOTO family is available free for any use with certain restrictions according to SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.
The download site is:

An obscure symbol like that is going to require Unicode entry, and don't forget that you must have a font that contains the character or it cannot display. I'm not sure how easy it will be to find such a font.

Here is a list of Unicode mathematical symbols:

I think your character may be 2AC5 (Subset Of Above Equals Sign). In FrameMaker, enter it by typing LeftAlt+2AC5. Hold down the LeftAlt key while typing the other characters, and you actually have to type the plus sign as part of the sequence.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I hope email preserves this special symbol. (Actually I cannot get it to copy-paste here as a character, so I am pasting in a screenshot instead, I hope email preserves it.) I am using this symbol

("Subset of or equal to".) If the mailing list processor messes it up, you can see it (as the first and main symbol discussed) athttps://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset; in LaTeX it is \subseteq (see e.g.https://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/ksiek/latexmath.html).

My question: I also need the same but with square angles rather than rounded.

Anywhere I can get it predefined?

Of course I can draw it and use an inline frame (as I have done for non-standard concocted symbols) but I would prefer to use it as a predefined character if available. I haven't found it anywhere so far.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
