I feel like the standard $\emptyset$
is ugly. By hand, my empty set symbol is a lot rounder, then this "slashed-zero"-type symbol.
Two questions:
- Do people really use it (I mean people who have any sort of sense of aesthetics)?
- What alternatives do you suggest?
I seem to recall something closer to what I'm looking for - a slash round-o - but the diameter of the circle seemed too small, I think. (And am I asking this in the right place?)
\emptyset
and don't like\varnothing
, which is more a symbol for plumbers than mathematicians. :) Michael's advice is pretious:\renewcommand{\emptyset}{...}
or\let\emptyset\???
, so that you can easily change your mind.\emptyset
. You'll get ~1000 docs using it (it is possibly a search limit), so I dare to say it is used.@
. Read details regarding it. BTW here I didn't have to address you directly, as you're the OP, so you would be notified anyway.
