How to type In

Write \in inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

As a relation, \in gets a thick space on each side, and a long inline formula may break after it. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing ∈ in a formula gives the same symbol. Not to be confused with \epsilon (ϵ).

Example
$a \in b$a∈ba \in ba∈b
