Units and Letter-like Symbols

Units and letter-like mathematical symbols.

Mathematica CalcCenter treats  or \[Degree] as the symbol Degree, so that, for example, 30 is equivalent to 30 Degree.
Note that  ,  and  are all distinct from the ordinary letters  (\[Mu]),  (\[CapitalARing]) and  (\[CapitalOSlash]).
Mathematica CalcCenter interprets  as Infinity,  as E, and both  and  as I. The characters  ,  and  are provided as alternatives to the usual upper-case letters E and I.
 and  are not by default assigned meanings. You can therefore use  to represent a pi that will not automatically be treated as Pi.
