I don’t know much about fariphone but can anybody let me know if it math symbols in its keyboard by default. And how is it for students? TIA.
Hello, Nicolee.
It depends what kind of symbols you need. In QWERTY layout, I can easily get the following symbols:
~`|•√π÷×∆^°={}%-+
If you need symbols for more exotic maths, there is a “math keyboard” on Google Play that might help you.

yes i was talking about pi and another you haven’ t mentioned. is there any way to get these symbols on the default keyboard without downloading a specific app for it
Ok, I’m typing this on my FP3+.
By pressing the ?123 button on the bottom row, then the =< button to get extended characters, my keyboard now looks like this:
~`|•√π÷ק∆
€¥$¢^°={}\in
%©®™✓
Long presses on some of those will give extra symbols like:
ΩΠμ ¶ ₹¥₱¢£ ′″ ∞≠≈ ‰℅ ≤⟨ ≥⟩
The article that @Furdiburd linked to has some good hints (such as long press on a number can give exponents or vulgar fractions like ³ and ⅜), but not everything in it turned out to be true when I tried it… Maybe individual settings influence the keyboard behaviour or maybe the article is out of date (and the author confuses French “guillemets” with symbols for “fast forward” and “rewind”). You’ll just have to try out long keypresses to see what works for you.
Also, you might want to install a Greek keyboard to get the letters commonly used in trigonometry.

Great! Yeah now i think downloading the greek keyboard is only way to get all symbol. Btw, i was talking about the symbol that looks like flipped 3. I don’t think if it’d be there by default. can you please check it?
I don’t know what you mean by “flipped 3”… What is its mathematical purpose?
OP probably means this “∃”

It’s possible, I suppose, though that looks to me more like squared rather than flipped, so it would be 9. 
After thinking a bit more, I wonder if OP meant capital sigma Σ, used for summation.
It’s different, though similar. see the refence link in my above reply.
I think you are moderator of this forum, so you know better than others. looking for your reply…
The really easiest way would be to just ask Google and to just type the sympbol or copy and paste it here, instead of providing links.
edit. btw what phone are you using so far? And how to do type the symbols on this phone?
Why don’t you use an app with a Math keyboard if the Greek keyboard isn’t enough?
So it’s epsilon, just put your keyboard into Greek layout and you’ll see it.

This can interrupt work. Having that symbol within the keyboard is way better.
Currently using vivo, it also doesn’t haveit in its keyboard by default. I copy from the website whose link has been removed.
