[[Operation (mathematics)|Mathematical operators]] and [[List of mathematical symbols|symbols]] are in multiple [[Unicode block]]s. Some of these blocks are dedicated to, or primarily contain, mathematical characters while others are a mix of mathematical and non-mathematical characters. This article covers all Unicode characters with a derived property of "Math".<ref>{{cite web | title = Unicode Character Database: Derived Core Properties | publisher = The Unicode Consortium | date = 19 February 2014 | url = https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/DerivedCoreProperties.txt | access-date = 14 August 2014

Computer systems allow the input of specific unicode characters in different ways, on [[Unicode input#In_Microsoft_Windows|Windows]] unicode characters can be typed utilizing <kbd>Alt</kbd> + Numpad combinations where <kbd>Alt</kbd> has to remain pressed untill the unicode number is entered. [[Unicode input#In_MacOS|MacOS]] may use the <kbd>Option</kbd> key followed by four diget number instead. [[Unicode input#In_X11_(Linux_and_other_Unix_variants_including_ChromeOS)|Linux and other Unix variants]] may use the key combination <kbd>Strg</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd> to remain pressed for typing unicode characters.
