How could I type the symbol of an ideal

Question

I wish to type the symbol of an ideal B.

But it is different from what I will get from \mathfrak{B}. How should I type it?

Welcome to TeX.SX. A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they're marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button ({}). Usually, we don't put a greeting or a "thank you" in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say "thank you" to users who helped you.

Your symbol is not \mathfrak{B}. It's a \mathfrak{P}

Here's the complete list of the uppercase Fraktur letters

Yeah, speak about confusion in that font, especially between IJ, YN, SO etc., not mentioning the lowercase letters... – tohecz Jan 22 at 13:04

The symbol in the PDF is a P from Euler Fraktur (eufm10). Use it with \usepackage{eulervm}.

eulervm is not for Fraktur. – egreg Jan 22 at 11:48

@egreg Yes, it does set up the shape, but does not define a math alphabet, or \mathfrak. – mafp Jan 22 at 12:21
