Unicode

    Does anyone convert unicode to LaTeX here. I usually find nice ways around LaTeX commands but I'm stumped - trying to get 𝟙 (U+1D7D9) to show up in a document. But I don't want to download an entire Chinese/Latin/African .cls file!

    I'm using Kile on Ubuntu - and I usually pdflatex, but dvi is cool too. A lecturer I once had used this symbol in his LaTeX documents so I know it's doable.

    edit#3: I can't believe it - looking through some of the posts, there was a site that did image recognition and it recognised 𝟙 as part of the bbold package!

    Don't use bbold if you like the 69a45f1e602cd2b2c2e67e41811fd226.png mathbb fonts for the algebraic fields - use amsmath, amssymb and bbm NOT bbold since the aforementioned characters in bbold overwrite them in amssymb (or vice-versa; whichever was last) and look slightly different.

    In short if you want to use the identity element symbol 𝟙 and the amssymb blackboard bold 69a45f1e602cd2b2c2e67e41811fd226.png in the one document then use amssymb alongside bbm - whew!
