There are a few options for displaying math symbols in message boxes, depending on the platform and programming language you are using. One option is to use a library or plugin specifically designed for displaying math symbols, such as MathJax or KaTeX. These libraries allow you to write math symbols in LaTeX format and then render them in the message box. Another option is to use Unicode characters for math symbols, which are supported by most modern operating systems and programming languages. You can find a list of Unicode math symbols online and then use the appropriate code to display them in your message box. Additionally, some programming languages have built-in functions or methods for displaying math symbols, so you may want to consult the documentation for your specific language.
