In summary, the conversation discusses the usefulness of symbols and suggests adding a quick symbols feature to the forum. Redbelly98 has researched and suggested which symbols are commonly used and should be included. Some members also suggest adding symbols like ±, √, →, and ∞ to the list. Others mention grouping the symbols and suggest rearranging the order. Some symbols, such as fractions and chess symbols, are considered less useful and may not be included. The conversation also mentions the inconvenience of typing certain symbols and suggests incorporating them into the standard reply page for easy copy and paste. Some members mention using the symbol ½ frequently and suggest using it in equations.

Well, yes, but that's like saying that the word "fo∅l" looks weird when one of the o's is replaced by the empty set symbol. It's not a phi, and to try to use it as a phi is quite bizarre.

φ is one of the more useful greek letters, so I wouldn't mind having it added to the list. It's not as useful as · though.

Do people really use ∴and ∠ ?
