LaTeX \s⋯ Commands for Printing Characters

LaTeX uses backslash+s⋯ combination to print characters.

\s⋯ Commands

The typical \s⋯ Commands for Printing Characters are LaTeX CommandsRemarksMode \Sprints a section sign, §. \scprints caps and small caps type characters. \scriptsizeprints subscript size type text characters. \scriptstyleprints sub- or superscript-sized typesetting characters.math mode \scriptscriptstyleprints second-level (very small) sub- or superscript-sized typesetting characters.math mode \searrowprints a south east arrow, ↘.math mode \secprints math, sec.math mode \secprints a set minus, ∖.math mode \sfcprints sans serif font type characters. \sharpprints a music sharp sign, ♯.math mode \sigmaprints a Greek small letter sigma, σ.math mode \Sigmaprints a Greek capital letter sigma, Σ.math mode \simprints a tilde operator, ∼.math mode \simeqprints a asymptotically equal to, ≃.math mode \sinprints math, sin.math mode \sinhprints math, sinh.math mode \slprints slanted typeface characters. \smallprints smaller than normalsize typeface characters. \smallintprints a integral, ∫.math mode \smileprints a smile, ⌣.math mode \spadesuitprints a black spade suit, ♠.math mode \sqcapprints a square cap, ⊓.math mode \sqcupprints a square cup, ⊔.math mode \sqrtprints a radical symbol bottom with optional root, ⎷.math mode \sqsubseteqprints a square image of or equal to, ⊑.math mode \sqsupseteqprints a square original of or equal to, ⊒.math mode \ssprints a Latin small letter sharp S, ß.math mode \starprints a star operator, ⋆.math mode \subsetprints a subset of, ⊂.math mode \subseteqprints a subset of or equal to, ⊆.math mode \succprints a succeeds, ≻.math mode \succeqprints a succeeds above single-line equals sign, ⪰.math mode \sumprints a N-ary summation, ∑.math mode \supprints math, sup.math mode \supsetprints a superset of, ⊃.math mode \supseteqprints a superset of or equal to, ⊇.math mode \surdprints a square root, √.math mode \swarrowprints a south west arrow, ↙.math mode \symbolprints a character with glyph (symbol) character code .math mode
