    Or in blackboard bold Not sure if LaTeX works here but I’ll try $\mathbb{C}$

    The preview does not give me hope.

      huge fan of blackboard bold. i can already see the ℂ in my mind. i feel like its vastly underutilized in the literature given how insanely cool all the letters look. same thing with the \mathfrak letters. they’re wheeled out of storage whenever it’s time to talk about ideals and then discarded immediately afterwards. its a shame. they deserve better.

        I’d much prefer those over cursive characters. I can tell those apart when written by hand.

      There should be a Lemmy feature (perhaps just a client implementation detail?) for LaTeX conversion
