Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D6A8 "𝚨" Mathematical Bold Capital Alpha is a glyph used primarily in mathematical and scientific notation to represent the Greek letter alpha in a bold typeface, distinguishing it from both standard text and italicized mathematical variables. It belongs to the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, which was introduced to provide unambiguous, style-specific representations of letters for use in equations and technical documents where formatting like bold or italic carries semantic meaning.
