This article contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols.

Mathematical Operators is a Unicode block containing characters for mathematical, logical, and set notation.

Notably absent are the plus sign (+), greater than sign (>) and less than sign (<), due to them already appearing in the Basic Latin Unicode block, and the plus-or-minus sign (±), multiplication sign (×) and obelus (÷), due to them already appearing in the Latin-1 Supplement block, although a distinct minus sign (−) is included, semantically different from the Basic Latin hyphen-minus (-).

Variation sequences

The Mathematical Operators block has sixteen variation sequences defined for standardized variants.^[3]^[4] They use U+FE00 VARIATION SELECTOR-1 (VS01) to denote variant symbols (depending on the font):

Variation sequences
Base character	Base	+VS01	Description
U+2205 EMPTY SET	∅	∅︀	zero with long diagonal stroke overlay form
U+2229 INTERSECTION	∩	∩︀	with serifs
U+222A UNION	∪	∪︀	with serifs
U+2268 LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO	≨	≨︀	with vertical stroke
U+2269 GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO	≩	≩︀	with vertical stroke
U+2272 LESS-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO	≲	≲︀	following the slant of the lower leg
U+2273 GREATER-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO	≳	≳︀	following the slant of the lower leg
U+228A SUBSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO	⊊	⊊︀	with stroke through bottom members
U+228B SUPERSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO	⊋	⊋︀	with stroke through bottom members

U+22DB GREATER-THAN EQUAL TO OR LESS-THAN	⋛	⋛︀	with slanted equal

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Mathematical Operators block:
