# Miscellaneous symbols

Dots, primes, suits, and other leftover symbols.

https://texform.dev/latex/topics/miscellaneous

This topic has 24 symbols and 7 commands from the base, textmacros, and ams packages. Commands show whether MathJax, KaTeX, and XeTeX render them. Symbols are single characters and are not render-tested, so they carry no support level. Entries are ordered by how often they appear in corpus formulas.

Packages: base (21), textmacros (6), ams (4).
