    Found with Windows 11 Character Map utility:

    · º ÷ Θ Φ ƒ Σ μ ₁ ₀ ₂ ≈ ≤ ≠ ≥ √ ≡ ∞ ꜛ ϖ ± ² ⁿ ³ ⁺ ⁻ ⁽⁾

    feel free to add more...

    Copy and paste as required, see below:

    EV=log₂(N²/t) where EV=exposure value, N=ƒ/number and t=shutter time

    P.S. On this site, Greek letter pi above renders wrong ϖ , found this instead: π

    Hm=(π/4)·0.823·L·t/N² derived from ISO SOS definition where Hm = mean exposure lux-sec and L = scene luminance cd/m²

    Good link, Arvo, thanks!

    I like it that when I click on any character, it gets placed after the cursor in the editor that I have open, voila æ µ ¿ é £

    Thanks Arvo, an easy to see and decipher web page...

    Many times I have painfully used winders charmap to find some math symbol, only to see it display differently depending on the font.

    I had seen the odd uni-code table of symbols but often they were in such a small font the symbols seemed to blur together.

    Thought experiment : What does ≉ 'Not almost equal to' equate to?
