How do you pose answers and questions in Yahoo!Answers with integral signs and other mathematical symbols?

Answer 1

You can use MS Word as the previous responder said; or you can use HTML character entities. All HTML character entities start with "&" and end with ";".

For example, if you type "x& sup2;" into the text box, it will come out as "x²" (the "sup2" means "superscript 2"). Likewise, "& int;" comes out as "∫".

(PLEASE NOTE: Do not put a space after the "&". I had to add a space in these examples because otherwise the web page would render it as the symbol, and you wouldn't be able to see the name! :-)

There's a character entity for each of the Greek letters, in upper case and lower case. For example:

& Delta; -> Δ
& delta; -> δ
& pi; -> π

Do a google search for "HTML character entities" to find more.

Answer 2

First open Notepad so you can create a file to hold your frequently needed characters.

In the Start menu, open Accessories, System Tools, Character map.

Choose Arial Unicode MS font. Click on Advanced View. Change "Group by:" from All to Unicode Subrange.
In the Group By window, choose Mathematical Operators.

Copy symbols to your Notepad file so you can access them easily.

Come to think of it, you could just click on my profile and copy symbols from there.
