These images were originally sources from Karen Strom's greek symbol set. However I have added a number of new symbols to this set as required for various documents on servers I am webmaster for.

NOTE: that some of the symbols below are NOT in this image area but are extra characters provided by the ISO Latin Character Set used in HTML. For example the mulitplication (or in latex \times) × is provided by the html sequence ×

Superscript and Subscripts, Numbers and Letters

A Range tiny numbers for use as suberscripts and subscripts are available. Which will allow you to create things like...

cm^2 tv4

2.5 × 10^-41

M^a F_z integrale^4y dy

Hint: Superscripts use ``ALIGN=top'' while subscripts use ``ALIGN=bottom''.

Here are the various digits and numbers you can use (replace # with digit or letter wanted....

tiny-#.gif -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9
(note the `-' in the last image name)

To help you create the various numbers The following symbols are also available in the same size as well as fractions and a some combinations of them.
