For continued use, I suggest you create these in the variable panel. To
start with, find and download the Symbola font. This is a TrueType font
and is usually free. Install the font to your system.
1. In FrameMaker, open the Character Designer Pod/Panel.
2. At the top, in the style box, Type in Symbola and also below in the
Family text box.
3. Press the Create Style Button at the bottom.
Now, to create the new variables, open the Variables panel and click the
small pencil icon to create a new variable.
Name: Give it a name, Subset XXXXX
In the Definition Box: Scroll the Character Formats selection
immediately below and click <Symbola>
Type a backslash \
Type the unicode: u228F
(The box should have the following: <Symbola>\u228F)
Click create.
The symbols you want are the following:
u228F
u2290
u2291
u2292
Best of luck. If you have any questions...

Subject Re: [Framers] Math symbol
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:
https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_2A00.html
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

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.
