What unicode's do we use?

Question

Does anyone know what unicode's we can use so our answers are clear? I like to answer math questions but formulas are a mess! I would like to use things like superscript, subscript, cube root, etc., but can't seem to find the correct codes or how to enter them. The unicode guide says subscript 1 is ₁ but when I enter this it just displays ₁ instead of a subscriptued 1. Maybe I'm entering them incorrectly. Anyway, your help is appreciated.

Answer 1

To answer your question, you are not asking for unicode, you are asking for HTML entities.



Here is a website that gives you all of the entities and explains more about them and where unicode comes in to play.



Add a semicolon "&8321; <---- "



₁

Answer 2

There's only one Unicode. Hence the name.



What you're talking about are called HTML character entities, not "unicodes". They have absolutely nothing to do with Unicode at all.



No, you're not entering them correctly. You need to add a semicolon to the end of each one.

Answer 3

You need to add a semicolon to the end of the code.



so π is made by typing in

& p i ;
