Comparison of the English and German language wiki page for math symbols.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glossary_of_mathematical_symbols&oldid=1342073856

and

https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liste_mathematischer_Symbole&oldid=266615032

To be fair, if you go to the linked "List of logic symbols" article that has a table with Latex, Unicode, and even HTML codes. But it's only for logic symbols, no page for all mathematic symbols on the English Wikipedia as far as I can see, so no quick Ctrl+F searching for unicode/latex. :( And most other subsections don't even have a link to such a list.

Virgin vs Chad meme superimposed on the English and German versions of the list of math symbols wiki page. The English side has the virgin and the text "unordered list", "mostly text", and "mention out-of-context uses" on it. The German side has the chad and the text "orderly table", "latex + unicode", and "only mention in-context use" on it.

I've always been disappointed in the English-language Wikipedia pages on mathematical topics - I'm actually going to try this.
