    Funnily, just the other day I was reverse looking up what a symbol was in LaTeX, i.e. I had the \symbol text but not the symbol itself. So I look up whatever that symbol was in text, along with the word ‘latex.’ I think the search was ‘cup latex.’ Colour me surprised when I go to ‘images’, try and see if an image of it shows up. It was not LaTeX. Not with that capitalisation

      I had a similar experience looking up the code for ⊥, I didn’t realize the world has given a very specific meaning to the words “latex bottom”

        Tf even is that symbol? Looks like Box-drawing characters to me

          It’s “up tack”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_tack

          I always pronounced it bottom because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_element_and_least_element#Top_and_bottom or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type which is how the Haskell report (where I got comfortable with the symbol) uses it.
