- adhesive_wombat 3y agoThey're not different codepoints, they're being rendered as mathematical markup by MathJax. This rendering includes using a LaTeX-esque font rather like Computer Modern. Arxiv does this presumably because some papers have mathematical expressions in the titles and abstracts. For example https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04991 https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04991
