Using symbols

From symbol to equation

A few details that make LaTeX symbols easier to use.

What does Copy command copy?

It copies LaTeX source, such as the command for alpha, rather than a Unicode character or an image. Root and fraction commands include placeholders that you can replace.

How do I turn a symbol into an image?

Choose Open example to load a complete expression into the converter. Edit the formula, choose PNG, JPG, or SVG, and download or copy the result. Rendering and image export happen locally in your browser.

Why do uppercase and lowercase commands differ?

LaTeX command names are case-sensitive. For example, sigma is a lowercase Greek letter, Sigma is its uppercase form, and sum is the summation operator. Search with the leading backslash to match the exact case.

Will every LaTeX package work here?

This directory covers symbols verified with this site’s MathJax configuration. The converter handles math expressions, not complete TeX documents or arbitrary packages. In another LaTeX editor, some commands may require a math package such as amssymb.

How do I find a symbol if I do not know its LaTeX command?

Search by its English or Chinese name, or paste the symbol itself, such as ∞ or ≈. You can narrow the results by category. If nothing matches, reset the filters and try a shorter name. For a symbol with several forms, expand Usage example to check how each form is used.

How do I combine symbols into a complete formula?

Copy the commands you need into the converter and add variables, numbers, and operators, for example \alpha + \beta = 1. When a letter follows a command, separate it with a space: \alpha x produces alpha followed by x, while \alphax is read as a different command. Open example gives you a complete expression to start from.
