      Saw this on Mastodon:

      Important sets:

      ℂ the complex numbers

      ℕ the natural numbers

      ℚ the rational numbers

      ℝ the real numbers

      𝕏 the set of fascists wannabes

      ℤ the integers

        My favorite comment about this from Mastodon: “X is just a sans serif swastika”.
