Lira Character

Post by JB Adder »

How do you get the lira character (₤) to appear in a LaTeX document?

Lira Character

Post by alainremillard »

The textcomp package offers the \textlira command.

Here are two great links when searching for a symbol. First Detexify tries to find the LaTeX code of a symbol drawn by hand. Second the "Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" (164 pages long).


Good day

I was wondering where that tag was. Thanks for that, Alain. And I'll download that PDF as well, save me having to ask where a symbol is on this forum again.
