Various online forums say that Latex's "\mathcal P" should like something like this:

But if you try it in Pages, it appears as this monstrosity:
How do I get Pages to display a regular power set symbol, like how everyone says Latex should be displaying it?

Pages is not using a [La]Tex renderer. It is using a compiled conversion utility called blahtex to convert a limited vocabulary of [La]Tex commands to MathML, and then embed that into the Pages document. So, no — Pages has no capability to render LaTeX as you would using a full installation of MacTeX (TexLive).
About LaTeX and MathML support in Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iBooks Author. There is a link to the blahtex PDF manual in that content.
This can be simplified too:
\mathcal P(U)
The equation can be selected in Pages and is can be enlarged or reduce in font size.
Pages is using a limited LaTeX/MathML conversion tool. Pages does not contain a drop of [La]TeX in it, and will not use an external implementation of said distribution.
But that's exactly what I typed in my screenshot. Usually, Pages matches exactly how every other LaTeX renderer displays equations. This is one place where Pages differs from the norm, which is why I'd like to know if it's possible to get the same result that all the other renderers output, using Pages' equation editor.
You use:
\mathcal{P}({U})
Right, I wasn't aware of that. Haven't heard of blahtex before. Thanks!
