LaTeX How do I make a Complex 'C' in Latex for sets?

Click For Summary
To create a visually appealing representation of the complex number set in LaTeX, using the command \mathbb{C} is recommended, as it enhances the appearance compared to the standard notation. The discussion also highlights various LaTeX font styles for mathematical expressions, including bold (\mathbf), Roman (\mathrm), Fraktur (\mathfrak), calligraphic (\mathcal), and script (\mathscr). Additionally, a user expresses gratitude for learning how to write math inline with text using the '## ##' format, indicating the practical value of the shared information.

Hello all, I was wondering how to make that nice looking Complex 'C' when writing a set in Latex. For example,
$$\{k\in C\mid k>0\}$$ looks okay but can be better.

\mathbb{C}? (The ? is not a part of it)

$$\{k\in \mathbb{C}\mid k>0\}$$

That's it, thanks!
 
No problem! For future reference, other common LaTeX fonts include

Bold \mathbf \mathbf{a},\mathbf{A}
Roman (not italicized unlike the regular math text) \mathrm \mathrm{a},\mathrm{A}
Fraktur \mathfrak \mathfrak{a},\mathfrak{A}
Calligraphic \mathcal \mathcal{A}
Script \mathscr \mathscr{A}

And probably something I forgot.
