An unknown mathematical sign?












1















Problem



When I am reading a paper, there is a definition
enter image description here



But I do not know what is the set where

resides in and how do I get it.



More generally, if you see a mathematical sign you do not know, what is the most straight way to get it when you want to use the same sign.



What I Have Done



By using Mathpix, a tool that transform image to tex command, it parses that set as

with high probability. But this doe not make sense from the context of the paper.



A side comment, I am new to this forum, but isn't it weird I could not directly type formulas just as other StackExchange sites (like Maths StackExchange, MathOverfolw and Cross-Validated)?



Thank you.

    @Manuel Change E to J and I think you've got the answer.

  • A good reference for all the script, blackboard, calligraphic and Fraktur letters is the documentation for mathalfa, which includes a comprehensive set of font samples for legacy fonts, or this list of symbols defined by unicode-math for Unicode fonts.

  • Finally, you might find the symbol on The Comprehensive TeX Symbol List.

That’s the J from Euler Script. Compare:



documentclass[varwidth, preview]{standalone}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage{textcomp}
usepackage{eucal}
usepackage{mathtools}
% Also eufrak if needed.

begin{document}
( mu_j (h) = mathbb{E}
left[ g_j big(X, A, Y, h(X)big) middle| mathcal{E}_j right]
text{ for } j in mathcal{J}
)
end{document}


Font sample



Or in the modern toolchain, with unicode-math and either XeTeX or LuaTeX:



documentclass[varwidth, preview]{standalone}
usepackage{mathtools}
usepackage{unicode-math}

defaultfontfeatures{ Scale = MatchUppercase }
setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
setmathfont[range = {cal, bfcal, frak, bffrak}]{Neo Euler}
setmathfont[range = {bb, bbit}]{TeX Gyre Pagella Math}

begin{document}
( mu_j (h) = mathbb{E}
left[ g_j big(X, A, Y, h(X)big) middle| mathcal{E}_j right]
text{ for (j in mathcal{J}).}
)
end{document}


unicode-math font sample



This doesn’t exactly duplicate the spacing of your scan, but it’s enough to demonstrate that the glyphs are the same.
