#Maths folks! Which of the unicode mathematical letter symbol variants would you use for 3d geometry x,y,z axis labels?

@Floppy also, left hand orientation, right hand orientation or whatever the heck Minecraft did 😂

(FYI Minecraft has x,z for planar location and y for height. 🤷‍♂️)

@Floppy clearly no one will ever agree so there should be user preferences that allow them to pick any valid unicode character for each axis.

🤣😛

@Floppy

\(x\), \(y\), \(z\)

\(\mathrm{x}\), \(\mathrm{y}\), \(\mathrm{z}\)

\(\mathbf{x}\), \(\mathbf{y}\), \(\mathbf{z}\)

\(\mathsf{x}\), \(\mathsf{y}\), \(\mathsf{z}\)

\(\mathbf{\mathsf{x}}\), \(\mathbf{\mathsf{y}}\), \(\mathbf{\mathsf{z}}\)

\(\mathbb{x}\), \(\mathbb{y}\), \(\mathbb{z}\)

\(\mathcal{X}\), \(\mathcal{Y}\), \(\mathcal{Z}\)

\(\mathfrak{x}\), \(\mathfrak{y}\), \(\mathfrak{z}\)

They look all the same for me.
