U+1D5A2 "𝖢" Mathematical Sans-Serif Capital C Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝖢

U+1D5A2 "𝖢" Mathematical Sans-Serif Capital C is a typographic variant of the standard letter C, designed with a clean, unadorned sans-serif style for use in mathematical and scientific notation. Part of the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, it belongs to a family of characters created to differentiate variables, constants, and other symbolic elements in formal equations, particularly when serif or italic styles might be ambiguous. This character allows writers to combine serif and sans-serif letters in the same mathematical expression for clarity, and it is typically rendered with the same visual weight and structure as other mathematical sans-serif capitals. While it resembles a simple uppercase C in a sans-serif font, its dedicated code point ensures consistent representation across different software and systems, preventing reliance on font-specific stylistic alternatives.
