Hi John and list,
After combing through my nemeth books, I didn't find this symbol. I agree
that we should use the C for complex numbers but if the C is capitalized,
then it needs to be 46-6-14 and if it's not capitalized, then it needs a
letter-sign, since it is a modified letter, so 46-56-14. Rule V in the
nemeth codebook only provides for five typeforms, bold, italic, script,
regular, and sanserrif. In the appendix I found a bunch of "crossed
letters," which all have preceding dot 4's. For example, 4-14 for the cent
sign and 4-234 for dollars. At first I thought this would be the best route
to take but it would have to be altered to not conflict with the cent sign
and that would create more confusion. Your original assertion is very
logical and doesn't conflict with anything.
BTW I remember You mentioning a blind chemistry convention. Is there info on
the web somewhere about this meeting?
thanx
Mike

Mike,
That double-struck capital C stands for complex numbers. Since the
script capital R, dots 4-6-1235, stands for real numbers, I think we
could reasonably use dots 4-6-14 for complex numbers.
