How I can get glyphs from a fraktur font and use them as identifiers?












2












$begingroup$


I would like to use the fraktur-S ($LaTeX$: mathfrak{S} $mathfrak{S}$; Unicode: "U+1D516" 𝔖) as a variable name in Mathematica, but pasting the Unicode character results in gibberish.



I'm confused because some Unicode characters I paste work just fine as variable names. Does Mathematica support only a subset of Unicode?

    That looks like an enlarged version of the lowercase fraktur s (Latex: "mathfrak{s}" $mathfrak{s}$).

    I think it supports the range 0000 – FFFF.
