:::There is a certain amount of technical knowledge required to understand ''most'' mathematics articles on Wikipedia. I don't see any reason this stub should be held to a higher standard than the rest of our mathematics articles, particularly since the notion is not likely to be ''relevant'' to anyone without a substantial quantitative background to start with.

::Oh, and according to [[Miscellaneous Technical (Unicode block)]], the symbols I'm missing are 'KEYBOARD' (2328) & 'LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET' (2329). Why these would appear in a mathematical article, or be expected in a standard OS installation or web browser, I don't know. <font face="Antiqua, serif">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub><sup>''('''[[M:Precisionism|P]]''')</sup></font> 16:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Exactly what the status of unicode symbols is in mathematics articles is a perennial debate, but our current [[WP:MOSMATH|Manual of Style]] does give its blessing to unicode symbols that correspond to named html entities. The left and right angle brackets are &lang; and &rang;. But as you probably know, the appropriate way to lobby for this sort of change would be to start a threat at [[WT:MOSMATH]]. (However, this is a discussion that has happened before many times already.)
