How to write mathematical sign for directly proportional? I have not got Mathtype yet.?

Question

Y is directly proportional to X. I searched all the fonts and symbols....yet to find it . The quickest way is to ask all the smart friends from all corners of the earth. Thanks to you all.

Answer 1

It's like an infinity sign with the right side open instead of closed. Let me see if I can find a picture.

Edit: If you were to go into Microsoft Word and insert, symbol, then select the symbol font, it would be near the bottom symbol # 181.

Answer 2

IMO, the best way to do this is to use what are known as HTML mathematical entities, which are all of the form "&" + + ";". For example, add the semicolon after &pi, and you will get π The only hard part is getting a good list of them, since I have yet to see a Web site with a complete list. There are lots of Web sites with partial lists. Here are some of them: pi: π sup2: square, as in x² sup3: cube, as in x³ infin: ∞ frac12: ½ frac14: ¼ frac34: ¾ radic: √ fnof: ƒ int: ∫ sum: ∑ ge: ≥ le: ≤ ne: ≠ plusmn: ± asymp: ≈ larr: ← rarr: → harr: ↔ uarr: ↑ darr: ↓ alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ delta δ epsilon: ε nbsp: non-breaking space deg: ° cent: ¢ Delta: Δ bull: •

If you're using MS Word, click on:

insert > symbol

it's in the character map (under the "Symbol" font). Or you can use MS Word's Equation Editor. Check out:

If you do a lot of math typing you might consider also learning about LaTeX.

Answer 7

It is in the standard windows Symbol font. However when I copy and paste it into here it looks like this: µ
So copy and paste that into your document then set its font to Symbol.
(When I copy and paste it back into a document and change the font it appears as a proportional to sign, hopefully it does the same for you. There's no way I can check.)

Answer 8

The symbol ∝ is located at unicode 0×221D (decimal value 8733). You can insert it manually using the character map, but I prefer to use this quick unicode input tool -- http://www.cardbox.com/quick.htm . I have a long list of mathematical symbols and their unicode numbers in my post here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjXQ7xNIUafOYdbLoW9t5gLsy6IX?qid=20061222124701AAVLoe2&show=7 .
