Mathematical Sans-serif Bold Small Alpha Symbol
𝝰 is a bold small alpha character used in mathematical and technical text styling.
U+1D770
𝝰 (U+1D770) is the mathematical sans-serif bold small alpha. It’s commonly used when a document needs a more “bold, sans-serif” look for the Greek letter α. Below you’ll find practical copy options and typical ways designers and developers use it.
Mathematical Sans-serif Bold Small Alpha Symbol Meaning
𝝰 is a Greek lowercase alpha character (α) in the Unicode “MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL ALPHA” style. Compared with regular alpha, it’s designed for mathematical typography where consistent font styling matters, such as distinguishing variables or vectors in equations. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode symbol, it can be copied directly into documents, design tools, and code. In practice, it’s often used as a variable name or label in math-heavy writing, technical diagrams, and UI text where typographic hierarchy needs to be clear.
Common uses
- •Labeling mathematical variables in equations where bold sans-serif alpha is preferred
- •Designing scientific or engineering diagrams with consistent symbol styling
- •Creating UI or dashboard headings for metrics that use Greek variables
- •Typography in documentation and academic-style writing requiring a specific alpha variant
- •Copying into code, comments, or markdown to preserve the exact character

What Unicode character is 𝝰?
𝝰 is the Unicode character U+1D770 (HTML entity: 𝝰).
How do I copy 𝝰 reliably across devices?
Copy the symbol directly from this page (the character itself) rather than typing it. This preserves the exact Unicode code point.
Can I use 𝝰 in code and expect the same symbol?
Yes, if your environment supports the character. You can reference it using JavaScript escape \\u{1D770} or CSS escape \\1D770.
Is 𝝰 the same as the regular Greek letter alpha (α)?
It’s related, but it’s a specific mathematical Unicode style: MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL ALPHA. It may render differently from regular α.
