[Solved] Two questions: C_(in) and XOR

Post by RonLugge »

OK, I have two problems at this point. One is I can't find anything to let me do boolean XOR -- its a minor issue (Worst comes to worst, just do X not Y OR Y not X), but I'd like it.

The other is slightly more important, as one of the figures that will crop up very often in my writing is Cin -- a C with a subscript in. Problem is, its being formated to some special character instead of staying "in", and I can't figure out why!

in is the math command for "this belongs to". To use in as text, use quotes:
C_"in"
For the boolean xor, you can add the corresponding symbol from a font that contains it. See here:

Only problem being, I don't have a font that contains it...

Oh well, thanks for the help. Do you know of a font with the boolean XOR simbol?

Alas, that isn't the XOR symbol the teacher uses (a circle with a + inside)... oh well, I'll just keep on fudging it with either typing XOR or the and not and not and thing.

Try it yourself: Just start at the top of the fileformat.info site, browse to Unicode > Blocks; when you find the character you're interested in, click "Font support".

Math have that binary operator. Try:
a oplus b
