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

And probably something I forgot.
