Line 26:
Several variants of the entire Greek and Latin alphabets specifically for use as mathematical symbols are encoded in the [[Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols]] range. This range disambiguates characters that would usually be considered font variants but are encoded separately because of widespread use of font variants (e.g. [[L]] vs. "script L" {{Script|Latn|ℒ}} vs. "blackletter L" {{Script|de-Latf|𝔏}} vs. "boldface blackletter L" {{Script|de-Latf|𝕷}}) as distinctive [[mathematical symbols]]. It is intended for use only in mathematical or technical notation, not use in non-technical text.<ref>[http://unicode.org/reports/tr25/tr25-5.html#_Toc21 Draft Unicode Technical Report #25]</ref>

===Greek===
Many [[Greek alphabet|Greek letters]] are used as [[technical symbol]]s. All of the Greek letters are encoded in the Greek section of Unicode but many are encoded a second time under the name of the technical symbol they represent. The "[[micro sign]]" (U+00B5, µ) is obviously inherited from [[ISO 8859-1]], but the origin of the others is less clear.
