How do I type this symbol on LaTex?. Is a \vee, but with a floor. I've tried using \lhat and \bhat it doesn't work. Thank you very much.

I know what my symbol or character looks like, but I don't know what the command is or which math alphabet it came from. How do I go about finding this out?

In the enumerate environment, an item begins with "[Co]image is..."  LaTex interprets the square bracket as a customized bullet symbol. How can I write [ without this glitch?

Oh man, I don't even know where to put this... or how to begin. As a joke, I'm trying to get the ascii art of the guy flipping a table in a question on an exam. I've tried verbatim but it won't display the characters.  I know it might be a long shot, but does anyone have an idea how to get this little guy  (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻   to display? I know I should provide a MWE, but... yeah, I don't even have that.  Thanks!

I want to write this simple equation in latex        2/|w|   In which |w| is the norm of w,,  I tried with         \frac{2}{\|w\|}   And get error "Missing $ inserted"  then I use this     \frac{2}{$\|w\|$}   And still get same error..  Does someone know how to solve this problem??

I am trying to write the Euclidean algorithm in the following way:  $A = \lfloor A \div B \rfloor \times B + (\text{remainder of}) \: A \div B $   Now is there any symbol I can use  to say "remainder of A $\div$ B"? I know that in the C programming language there is the operator % for modulus; is that a valid symbol in maths? Can I write A % B? Or is there some other way?

I want to know how can I achieve this effect in LaTeX:    Basically it looks like this: {F}IRST {L}ETTER, where the letters in the braces are a little bigger than the other ones but they all the letters are uppercase.  Any suggestions?

Is there in LaTeX a symbol or a macro for the average integral with a horizontal slash? I know about \strokedint, but I'd prefer the dash to be horizontal.

Does anybody know how I can get exactly that symbol for the set of real numbers in LaTeX?   Additional image:    In this picture you have the symbol for the set of integers, real numbers and complex numbers. I think this must be a package.

Is there a standard TeX or LaTeX code for a symbol that bears the same relation to  \prec\prec that \ll bears to &lt;&lt; ?  (And how do I get TeX code to get rendered in a question posted here?  I'm accustomed to writing things like $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}$ on math.stackexchange.com and having it look the way you'd expect it to.)

I did not know that latex had different symbol for opening and closing quotation marks. I've used it like "abc" every where and just realised that I really should have used ``abc". Is there anyway I can convert all the quotations to become like ``abc"? Doing it manually will take forever as I have a lot of quotations.

Is there a symbol that looks like the element sign $\in $ but instead of being curved, looks more like a less than sign $&lt; $? I have trawled through hundreds of symbols and tried detexify.

I saw two less than signs on this Wikipedia article and I was wonder what they meant mathematically.    EDIT: It looks like this can use TeX commands. So I think this is the symbol: $\ll$

I'm just starting to learn LaTeX. I tried typing \begin{equation*}  (math goes here)  \end{equation*}  and I got a whole bunch of errors. It seems LaTeX interpreted the empty line as the equation: when it saw nothing there, I guess it just ended math mode? It then said my other commands needed $'s so I assume that's what happened. When I typed \begin{equation*} (math goes here) \end{equation*}  everything was fine. So I'm confused. If LaTeX sees an empty line in an environment, does it just interpret this as me changing my mind, and deciding not to use the declared environment?

What are the options that can be considered an alternative to the old  symbol ?  I would like to denote a small break in the flow of the text, I noticed that this days many people like to just add more whitespace than the usual new line; but still, I would like to use a symbol, a more explicit glyph and I don't know if there are more "modern" ways to express this.
