{{Main|Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols|l1=Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (Unicode block)}}
The Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (U+1D400&ndash;U+1D7FF) contains Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The reserved code points (the "holes") in the alphabetic ranges up to U+1D551 duplicate characters in the [[#Letterlike Symbols block|Letterlike Symbols block]].<ref> In order, these are: {{not a typo| / / / / }}.</ref>
