@SmittenKitten If you're looking for a symbol and don't know the LaTeX way to write it, check out http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html, it's a ML classifier that lets you draw the symbol you want and gives you the closest matches.
@SmittenKitten No prolbem, I wish I had known it back when I was writing math homework in TeX, would've saved me some trouble...
BTW, a pretty comprehensive list is here: http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf
@redacted oh this is great. i hadn't seen this before, thank you! now i just want to draw all the symbols though, heh.
