Math

Math is a binary character classification that identifies symbols intended for use in mathematical notation, such as digits, operators, comparison signs, parentheses, and Greek letters. These characters are marked with the Math=Yes value, enabling software to distinguish them from ordinary text for purposes like rendering, parsing, or accessibility. The category includes not only obvious symbols like plus, equals, and integral signs but also less common items like superscripts, subscripts, and mathematical alphanumeric symbols. This classification helps in creating consistent behavior across fonts and applications, ensuring that math expressions are treated as structured data rather than plain prose. It also supports features like automatic spacing, font selection, and screen reader output, making mathematical content more robust and universally interpretable in digital environments.
