# Does *Mathematica* have $\varphi$? [closed]

I know I can input

\[Phi]


...to get $\phi$ in the Mathematica front end, but is there a way to get $\varphi$?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

• "This question arises due to a simple mistake such as a trivial syntax error, incorrect capitalization, spelling mistake, or other typographical error and is unlikely to help any future visitors, or else it is easily found in the documentation." – Michael E2, LCarvalho, m_goldberg, Bob Hanlon, Coolwater
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

• If you enter "phi" in the help search input field, you get a number of phi-character hits (5 in the top 10). If you click on \[Phi], the top one, you will see a link to \[CurlyPhi] just below the character image. Click & explore. :) – Michael E2 Feb 28 '18 at 0:06
• I am inclined to reopen this question since the best answer is clearly not "easily found" in the documentation. Mathematica notebooks support Latex aliases. So if you know that you would get the character you want in LaTeX as \varphi, you can just enter it in a notebook as [esc]\varphi[esc]. – Alan Feb 28 '18 at 15:05

\[CurlyPhi]

will give you φ, or Esc j Esc
