In table intended for mathematical textbooks, the preference would lean towards mathematical way of writing, and "+" would be considered a math symbol. sign \\ 146 sign | 456 sign / 34 sign + 235 sign % 1456 sign = 2356 sign ~ 45 sign @ 4 sign & 12346 sign \x00A3 123 £ sign $ 2346 sign \x20AC 4-15 € sign \x00A2 4-14 ¢ sign * 35 sign \x00A7 3456 § sign # 3456 sign _ 346 sign ^ 346 sign \x2022 3 • Bullet sign sign \x00B7 3 · Interpunct sign - 36 Hyphen, not a dash.
