LaTeX \a⋯ Commands for Printing Characters

LaTeX uses backslash+a⋯ combination to print characters.

\a⋯ Commands

The typical \a⋯ Commands for Printing Characters are LaTeX CommandsRemarksMode \a'makes an acute accent. e.g. ´, Á, á.tabbing \a`makes an grave accent. e.g. `, À, à.tabbing \a=makes a macron accent. e.g. ¯, Ā, ā.tabbing \aaprints a small letter, a, with ring above. e.g. å. \AAprints a capital letter, A, with ring above. e.g. Å. \acute=makes an acute accent. e.g. ´, Á, á.math mode \aeprints a small letter, Ae e.g. æ. \AEprints a capital letter, Ae e.g. Æ. \alephprints a alef symbol, Ae e.g. ℵ.math mode \alphaprints a Greek small letter alpha, Ae e.g. α.math mode \amalgprints an amalgamation or coproduct, ⨿.math mode \angleprints an angle, ∠. \approxprints an almost equal to, ≈.math mode \arccosprints math, arccos.math mode \arcsinprints math, arcsin.math mode \arctanprints math, arctan.math mode \argprints math, arg.math mode \astprints an asterisk, *.math mode \asympprints an equivalent to, ≍.math mode
