Such That (∋) or Contains As Member symbol in LaTeX

Mathematicians use three types of Such That symbols, the most popular of which is . Also, the symbol Such That is denoted by | (pipe) and : (colon).

In this tutorial, you will learn how to print the Such That (∋, :, |) or Contains As Member symbol in a LaTeX Document.

Such That (∋, :, |) symbol with default command

To print the Such That symbol in LaTeX you can use the default command \ni (∋).

For pipe (|) you can use the \mid command and if you want a responsive pipe symbol then you have to use the \middle| command (\left and \right are required).

For colon (:) you can use the keyboard key or \colon command.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

 $$ \{x \ni x> 0\} = \{1,2,3,\dots\} $$
 $$ A = \{ x \in \mathbb{Z} \mid x > 0 \} $$
 $$ B = \{ x \in \mathbb{Z} : x \leq 5 \} $$
 $$ \left.\frac{1}{x} \middle| x\right. (\text{responsive pipe symbol}) $$
 $$ \left\{ x \in X \middle| x > \frac{1}{2}\right\} $$

\end{document}

Output:

such that symbol.
