Off-topic, but I admire the effort to translate the formula to Unicode characters in the title. It's not just a simple copy-paste from the article.

- Arnavion 3y agoThe submitter also fixed the incorrect use of the degree symbol before K, lol.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y ago"degrees Kelvin" is wrong? Why's that?
- Arnavion 3y agoTechnically the units of temperature are "degrees Celsius", "degrees Fahrenheit", "Kelvin", etc. ie "degrees" is part of the name of the units "degrees Celsius" and "degrees Fahrenheit". "Kelvin" is the name of the unit by itself, so "degrees" is not supposed to be used before Kelvin. In practice everyone's so used to saying "degrees" for temperatures that they end up saying it with Kelvin too.
- rsfern 3y agoThe SI unit is just “kelvin” because it’s an absolute scale. Usually “degrees” is only used with Celsius and Fahrenheit scales because they are relative. Not sure about Rankine… https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/kelvin-introduction https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/kelvin-introduction
- archon1410 3y ago> zero on the Rankine scale is absolute zero, but a temperature difference of one Rankine degree (°R or °Ra) is defined as equal to one Fahrenheit degree But Rankine is an absolute scale. "By analogy with the SI unit, the kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale
- rsfern 3y agoAh, interesting - this NIST page uses °R, which is at odds with the explanation in the other page on Kelvin (which doesn’t mention Rankine). I’m not sure if that’s because there’s a strong convention to use the degree symbol with Rankine or if there’s an additional reason not mentioned by the Kelvin page https://www.nist.gov/pml/special-publication-811/nist-guide-si-appendix-b-conversion-factors/nist-guide-si-appendix-b8 https://www.nist.gov/pml/special-publication-811/nist-guide-...
- LightMachine 3y agoGPT-4 does it very well though. (Not saying OP used it, was just curious if that'd work.) Prompt: > Observation of zero resistance above 100∘ K in Pb10−xCux(PO4)6O > convert this to a title, with the correct usage of unicode Output: > Observation of Zero Resistance Above 100 K in Pb₁₀₋ₓCuₓ(PO₄)₆O
- sedatk 3y agoWow, I would've never thought to use ChatGPT for this. Very cool.
- cooper_ganglia 3y agoI use ChatGPT as a word calculator for literally everything all of the time. It’s super great for achieving proper formatting easily!
- qingcharles 3y agoIndeed. I always tell it to use proper fancy quotes and proper apostrophes in its output, but I can't get it to do it 100% of the time despite trying out many prompt variations and telling it the Unicode values etc etc.
- 1letterunixname 3y agoChatGPT says: The chemical formula "Pb10−xCux(PO4)6O" can be written in Unicode as follows: Pb₁₀₋ₓCuₓ(PO₄)₆O Please note that not all characters may be perfectly aligned due to font variations and rendering differences in different systems. However, this representation should provide a close approximation to the chemical formula. As plain text: Pb₁₀₋ₓCuₓ(PO₄)₆O EDIT: Note that arxiv uses mathjax (JS) to take a compound formula as plain text and applies subscript, superscript, etc. styling to it. ("Pb10−xCux(PO4)6O")
