1. Output for <math> depends on user settings: may render as PNG image or text (MathML or MathJax), the latter uses U+27E8/9.
2. This should only differ from option 1 in the treatment of enclosed text.
3. The HTML entities are realized either as U+2329/A according to XHTML 1.0 or as U+27E8/9 according to HTML5. See XML Entity Definitions for Characters. Actual browser implementation varies.
4. Unicode: “These characters are deprecated and are strongly discouraged for mathematical use because of their canonical equivalence to CJK punctuation.”(page 3 of 7) The U+3008/9 angles are defined fullwidth in Chinese script. U+2329/A are not defined “halfwidth” (that is, not half a fixed-width character)
5. Like most sinograms these usually occupy a whole em square.
6. Recommended for technical/mathematical use according to Unicode documentation.
7. The chevron or guillemot quotation marks are too small.
8. Size relation signs are both not tall enough and too wide.
9. Succession signs are not appropriate for the intended use.
10. Not really appropriate.

The a variants have been removed because they relied on the deprecated template {{Unicode}}.
