Mathematical Sans-Serif Capital A 𝖠
Visual Description: This symbol appears as a bold, upright A with no serifs. The strokes have constant width and clean angles, giving a crisp, digital look. It sits tall on the baseline and maintains strong legibility at small sizes. It pairs well with other math symbols in formulas.
Meaning & Usage: The character serves as a variable label or constant in expressions. In math, it often marks a quantity to compute, compare, or denote a specific entity. In software, it appears in calculators and UI elements as a recognizable operand or reference letter.
Historical Background: Designers created mathematical sans-serif forms to fit modern screens and clear typographic hierarchy. The style evolved as digital tools spread, offering uniform strokes and predictable spacing. The A variant helps separate variables from text in dense formulas and supports accessible reading across devices.
Practical Use: In teaching and tools, the A acts as a stable reference in equations, graphs, and code. It appears on calculators, sliders, and buttons used for quick operations or comparisons. Label it clearly to avoid confusion when you toggle values, compare A & B, or plot results.

HTML: use the numeric entity 햠 (hex) or 햠 (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
