Maths symbols and unicode-math input inside siunitx commands












5















What I’m trying to do is to input Unicode characters directly inside siunitx commands, like SIrange{≳9}{≈40}{kilogram}. But it does not work and I get errors like ! Package siunitx Error: Invalid token '≳' in numerical input..



Looking further, inputing the standard command for these symbols does not work for all of them either: SIrange{gtrsim9}{approx40}{kilogram}; gtrsim breaks but approx is accepted.



Some MNWE:



documentclass{standalone}

usepackage{siunitx}
usepackage{unicode-math}

begin{document}
SIrange{≳9}{≈40}{kilogram}\
SIrange{gtrsim9}{approx40}{kilogram}
end{document}


Does what I’m trying to do makes any sense? Is there a way to do that?

  • I think the parser needs to know those in advance to support them. It does not handle all symbols by default only common ones. The ones you present here are not really common

You could set parse-numbers to false to allow arbitrary code in the number fields:



documentclass{standalone}

usepackage{siunitx}
usepackage{unicode-math}

begin{document}
SIrange[parse-numbers = false]{≳9}{≈40}{kilogram}\
SIrange[parse-numbers = false]{gtrsim9}{approx40}{kilogram}
end{document}


Or, you could declare the symbols explicitly in sisetup:



documentclass{standalone}

usepackage{siunitx}
sisetup{
input-symbols=≈≳gtrsimapprox
}
usepackage{unicode-math}

begin{document}
SIrange{≳9}{≈40}{kilogram}\
SIrange{gtrsim9}{approx40}{kilogram}
end{document}

    You can add other comparators to the default list:



    documentclass{article}

    usepackage{siunitx}
    usepackage{unicode-math}

    sisetup{
    input-comparators = {
    < = > approx ge geq gg le leq ll sim % default
    gtrsim ≳ ≈
    },
    }

    begin{document}

    SIrange{≳9}{≈40}{kilogram}

    SIrange{gtrsim9}{approx40}{kilogram}

    end{document}
