The [[Unicode]] Standard encodes almost all standard characters used in mathematics.<ref name="utr25">{{cite web | title = Unicode Technical Report #25: Unicode Support for Mathematics | publisher = The Unicode Consortium | date = 2 April 2012 | url = http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr25/ | format = PDF | accessdate = 14 August 2014}}</ref>
Unicode Technical Report #25 provides comprehensive information about the character repertoire, their properties, and guidelines for implementation.<ref name="utr25"/>
Mathematical [[Operator (mathematics)|operators]] and [[List of mathematical symbols|symbols]] are in multiple [[Unicode block|Unicode blocks]]. 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 = http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/DerivedCoreProperties.txt | accessdate = 14 August 2014
