Symbols & Mathematical Characters
The character entity references in this section produce characters
that may be represented by glyphs in the widely available Adobe Symbol font, including
Greek characters, various bracketing symbols, and a selection of mathematical operators
such as gradient, product, and summation symbols.
To support these entities, user agents may support full [ISO10646] or use other means.
Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being able to display the
relevant [ISO10646] characters or by other means, such as internally mapping
the listed entities, numeric character references, and characters to the appropriate position
in some font that contains the requisite glyphs.
