For our bold italic symbols which are letters — such as <math>𝒕</math>, <math>𝒋</math>, and <math>𝒈</math> — we've used Unicode mathematical characters. Unfortunately, however, Unicode does not include mathematical characters for bold italic numerals, so this solution does not work for our summation map, which ideally should be a bold italic numeral one. Perhaps future wikizens will be able to follow through for us on a solution to this problem.</ref>
Symbols which are normally italic in math mode, such as letters, can be made bold italic using \boldsymbol{A}, e.g. <math>\small\boldsymbol{A}</math>. But unfortunately, \boldsymbol{\mathit{1}} does not work in MathJax, although it works in <math>\small\LaTeX</math>. The MathJax-specific command \style{font-weight:bold;font-style:italic}{1} doesn't work either. Unicode contains mathematical characters including numerals in several styles. Unfortunately it does not include bold italic numerals. Perhaps future wikizens will be able to follow through for us on a solution to this problem.</ref>
