Letterlike Symbols is a Unicode block containing 80 characters which are constructed mainly from the glyphs of one or more letters. In addition to this block, Unicode includes full styled mathematical alphabets, although Unicode does not explicitly categorize these characters as being "letterlike."

Glyph variants

Variation selectors may be used to specify chancery (U+FE00) vs roundhand (U+FE01) forms, if the font supports them:

Code point Plain FE00 FE01
U+212C ℬ ℬ︀ℬ︁
U+2130 ℰ ℰ︀ℰ︁
U+2131 ℱ ℱ︀ℱ︁

The remainder of the set is at Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols.

Block

Emoji

The Letterlike Symbols block contains two emoji:U+2122 and U+2139.[6] [7]

The block has four standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for thetwo emoji, both of which default to a text presentation.[8]
