Take a look at the Unicode character charts at http://www.unicode.org/charts/

Answer 2

I found it. click here, this site has more unicode mathematical symbols than I was previously aware of. On the right of the page is what you want, its a hexidecimal number, here's how you would get the unicode character from the hexidecimal number in java.

char[] LESS_THAN = Character.toChars(0x3c);

Basically you're replacing the two symbols at the beginning (I forgot what they were already) with a 0 and passing it into that method. I believe 0x003c is the same value, 60 I think but I'm probably wrong about that, and I don't think its case sensitive so a capital 'c' should work as well. Hope that helped, good luck.

Answer 3

I am sure it's \u221A. Try it out or try googling it, and you might end up with something else (I mean a list of others).
