And what some people have been trying to get through to you is that
mathematical symbols are not necessarily construed to be characters.

MoeBlee

A mathematical symbol is a "monad string" - as long as it is a symbol.
A monad string, like a linear string, or any string, is generally a
visual display that helps the mathematician to invoke and awaken
intuitions for use in abstract manipulations. For example,
"beginning/end" are invoked by a visual linear string to enable
counting which uses "start/finish".

Unlike a linear string, a monad string invokes appearance/disappearance
(which are the properties of a visual symbol) to invoke "act" (action
is the consequence of disappearance and appearance). Examples of monad
strings that act are 'functions'.

That should clarify. So far my examples have been: linear string,
circular string, monad string, box string. I am sure that you can think
of a few yourself.
