Unicode 3.1 has new 951 symbols and operators and 991 new alphanumeric symbols in addition to 340 symbols currently encoded for a total of 2282 math symbols. This repertoire is the result of input from many sources, notably from the STIX project and enables one to display virtually all standard mathematical symbols. This talk describes the Unicode math repertoire and ways to enter and use it in TeX, MathML, and plain text.
