Suggestion Symbols Not Responding to BB Codes

Symbols like ≥ and ≅ do not respond to BB Codes in the forum's reply field, appearing differently when bolded. Users expressed a desire for this issue to be addressed in an upcoming update. The inconsistency in appearance is attributed to font variations rather than a forum coding issue. The forum team plans to test this in their new version. Resolving this could enhance the visual presentation of mathematical symbols.

I notice that Symbols (under "Σ" in the reply field) do not respond to the BB Codes; such as ≥ and ≅, which were included in this Bold field.

Would be a nicety if that gets fixed in the pending update.

They do look a bit different:
≥≅ - not bold
≥≅ - bold
##\geq \cong## - LaTeX

This depends on the font, it is not something the forum could change for these symbols.
 
We will test it in our new version.

Hello everyone, I recently revisited Physics Forums after a long hiatus (about 4-5 years) and started catching up on the recent discussions. What immediately struck me—and what inspired this thread—is seeing so many of the exact same user names in the "Latest Posts" section who were just as active when I was last here! To the dedicated, long-term, and continuously active members of this community: What keeps you coming back and contributing regularly after all this time? Is it the joy...
