NGL, I'm kinda bummed that there isn't a double-struck "blackboard bold" capital letter standard to represent the surreals.
ℤ → integers
ℕ → naturals
ℙ → primes
ℚ → rationals
ℝ → reals
ℂ → complexes
ℍ → quaternions
𝕆 → octonions
𝕊 → sedenions
𝔽 → finite fields
𝔹 → booleans
{L | R} is descriptive, but lame. Heh.

@atoponce@fosstodon.org You need to go On Beyond Zebra to find surreal letters!
