In the [[LaTeX]] typesetting language, the command <code>\setminus</code><ref name="The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List">[http://ctan.unsw.edu.au/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220305100117/http://ctan.unsw.edu.au/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf |date=2022-03-05 }} The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List</ref> is usually used for rendering a set difference symbol, which is similar to a [[backslash]] symbol. When rendered, the <code>\setminus</code> command looks identical to <code>\backslash</code>, except that it has a little more space in front and behind the slash, akin to the LaTeX sequence <code>\mathbin{\backslash}</code>. A variant <code>\smallsetminus</code> is available in the amssymb package, but this symbol is not included separately in Unicode. The symbol <math>\complement</math> (as opposed to <math>C</math>) is produced by <code>\complement</code>. (It corresponds to the Unicode symbol {{unichar|2201|COMPLEMENT}}.)
