Letterlike Symbols is a Unicode block containing 80 characters which are constructed mainly from the glyphs of one or more letters.
In addition to this block, Unicode includes full styled mathematical alphabets, although Unicode does not explicitly categorize these characters as being "letterlike."
Variation selectors may be used to specify chancery (U+FE00) vs roundhand (U+FE01) forms, if the font supports them: The remainder of the set is at Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols.
[6][7] The block has four standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the two emoji, both of which default to a text presentation.
[8] The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Letterlike Symbols block:
