Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B is a Unicode block containing miscellaneous mathematical symbols, including brackets, angles, and circle symbols.

Block

{{Unicode chart Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B}}

Some of these symbols are used in Z notation. Specifically

  • {{unichar|2981|Z NOTATION SPOT}}
  • {{unichar|2982|Z NOTATION TYPE COLON}}
  • {{unichar|2987|Z NOTATION LEFT IMAGE BRACKET}}
  • {{unichar|2988|Z NOTATION RIGHT IMAGE BRACKET}}
  • {{unichar|2989|Z NOTATION LEFT BINDING BRACKET}}
  • {{unichar|298A|Z NOTATION RIGHT BINDING BRACKET}}

The last two symbols are used in combinatorial game theory

  • {{unichar|29FE|TINY}}
  • {{unichar|29FF|MINY}}
