04 FAQ
What is the Unicode code point for Subset Of?
Subset Of is U+2282. In HTML that's <code>⊂</code> or <code>⊂</code>.
Why doesn't Subset Of have a classic Windows Alt code?
Alt codes only cover the legacy 256-character Windows-1252 codepage. Subset Of is outside that range, so use Character Map, the Word Alt+X method, or copy it from this page instead.
