I don't think → is "implies", particularly as we've had ⇒ earlier. → is often used for "maps to", as in f: x → f(x) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.166|141.101.107.166]] 19:24, 8 August 2020 (UTC) | I don't think → is "implies", particularly as we've had ⇒ earlier. → is often used for "maps to", as in f: x → f(x) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.166|141.101.107.166]] 19:24, 8 August 2020 (UTC) | ||

Are we sure that is the multiplication sign (center dot)? The placement makes it seem more a decimal point.

:Confusingly, math conventions in some countries use a low dot for multiplication, though it's not as common as it used to be. That's in addition to all the other things that bare dots can represent in math. Personally I can't "see" any particular set of semantics for that symbol, I just see a dot.
