Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block
Unicode block
In Unicode, a block is defined as one contiguous range of code points. Blocks are named uniquely and have no overlap. They may be defined with the starting and ending code points. The block explicitly can include code points that are unassigned and non-characters. Code points not belonging to any...

) that include all necessary properties to differentiate from other alphanumerics, e.g. in mathematics an italic "A" can have a different meaning from a roman letter "A". These symbols are to be used only in mathematical formulas, not in general text.

The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics. By providing uniformity over numerous mathematical articles and books, these conventions help to read mathematical formulae.

Hexadecimal numbers are the code point of the character below them, other characters have a value one greater than the one above them. The characters with pink backgound are located in other Unicode blocks, such as Letterlike symbols. For example, ℛ is at U+211B.
