Weierstrass p

Weierstrass p

Weierstrass p

The Weierstrass p (wp,), a stylized letter p, is used for the following mathematical concepts:

* Weierstrass's elliptic function
* the power set.

It is named after the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass.

Its Unicode code point is U+2118 where it is incorrectly named "script capital p". It is in fact a lowercase letter, but this error is not corrected in later versions in order to keep the Unicode standard stable. [cite web
