\mapsto💡 How to Use LaTeX Symbols
LaTeX symbols are special characters used in mathematical typesetting and scientific documents. To use any symbol, simply copy the LaTeX command and paste it into your LaTeX document within math mode ($...$) or display mode ($$...$$).
Quick Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\begin{document}
The formula is $E = mc^2$ where $c \approx 3 \times 10^8$ m/s
Greek letters: $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \Delta$
