How about a lower-case letter lambda? 𝜆
Unicode supports several versions of this character. According to
Wikipedia, this one is "U+1D706 MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL LAMDA."

I am seeking suggestions of how a callable (usually output from LAMBDA,
though I have also implemented other ways of generating them) should be
displayed in a cell. I know Google Sheets displays an #N/A error (even
though the cell has a valid non-error value), which, when selected,
tells you that you need to call the function if you want to see a
result. I don't know what Excel does, as I don't have Excel. I'm
thinking that there could be reason to not choose something that could
potentially be entered as text in a cell (to avoid confusing users), but
I have no ideas beyond that. Can anyone offer input, or could a Power
That Be offer a Decision?
Thanks,
Ben
P.S. If anyone could also point me to the code that actually does the
cell drawing, I would appreciate it. Would it be somewhere in the
document shell code? Currently (in my build) a LAMBDA cell looks blank.
