Special Characters: Angle Symbol

Hi, I'm trying to find the 'angle' symbol commonly used in math (Two lines at a 45º angle, an acute 'L')

The previous answer (linked) says to do the following

- Edit

- Special Characters

- Math (etc)

However this is an old post and this option now seems unavailable.

Looks to be replaced by 'Emoji and Symbols' however the closest I can find in that list is '⎳'

I sincerely hope i'm not just missing it. Thanks

Running Yosemite 10.10.3 🙂

Emoji & Symbols is just a new name for Special Characters.

Did you click on the gear wheel and do Customize and add Math Symbols? I see ∠ at U+2220.

Thanks Tom!

Turns out I wasn't getting the full array of special characters initially for some reason (initially accessing 'Emoji & Symbols' in Safari).

Now it seems accessing the 'Emoji & Symbols' menu from the finder has opened up those extra options, and now those options appear under Safari as well.

Very odd. Thanks for your time!

I'm guessing the symbols above "," and "." are not what you want. They are " < " and " > ".
