Math equations rou need

[Rebecca]

I am in search of finding how to type in the math symbols for "rou" (looks
like the letter P with a long tail) and for the symbols that look like a
triangle, a cursive L and cursive e and the capital letter T with two
vertical lines instead of just the one. (do I make sense?)
I need these symbols so I can type up math calculations. I did find the
triangle I needed under wingdings 3.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Aren't they Greek characters ? (ro, delta, pi, epsilon etc...) :

Hopefully you'll write some code using those characters as else I'm not sure
how it is related to this programming group ;-)

Kinda Greek letters.
But I think I did find what I was looking for under the UniversalMath1 BT
font I have installed on my computer (which I believe comes standard with MS)
I'm going by someone's else's handwriting and they might not be writing down
the math characters exactly as it should be but when I discovered the
universalmath1 font it sure looks like the symbols/font that I need to type
what I need to.
Thank you for your help Patrice!!!

Try these sites:

The rho (Greek) is ρ or ρ or change font to symbol and use r.
Sub and superscript are also great helpers.

Watch your character set for your HTML output, as some symbols will not
display properly with some character sets.

Symbol font
P with tail = rho - ρ
Triangle = delta - Δ
Not sure what you mean by cursive l (lambda?) - λ
cursive e is most like epsilon - ε
Capital T with two verticals = most likely pi
caps - Π lower case - π

Watch using non-standard fonts on the web, as some will not be able to
display them.

If you really need to go this direction, consider some type of programming
paradigm where you can embed fonts, like Silverlight or Flash.

Not sure what you mean about html.
I'm only typing onto a word document to be handed out to people in a meeting
next week. This is not going onto the web.
I did find some of the symbols I'm looking for under MS equation and some
under the UniversalMath1 font.

Then use the equation editor (from menu or ribbon Insert -> Equation) -- all
these symbols and more are built into Word.

Also, if you're using Word you're definitely asking in the wrong place.
Next time ask in a newsgroup with "Word" in the name and this sort of
confusion won't happen.

Aplogies, but I was assuming this was a .NET question, as you posted in the
..NET group.

If this is just word, there is an equation editor that will solve your
probems. This site has demos:
