Sorry if this is a common question, I've searched high and low for the answer.
I am writing a scientific paper with math terminology. It would be nice to directly enter some math symbols directly into the text-editor. For example, the characters φ (lower case phi aka $\phi$) or ¬ (negation aka $\neg$) It makes it clearer to read the source, I find. My text file is UTF-8. If I run xelatex on my Mac 10.6, the resulting pdf does show the φ character, but not the ¬ character. I cannot understand why. My feeling is that it has something to do with font-mapping. I've included my document header for reference. thanks for any help. XeTeX 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.2 (TeX Live 2009) kpathsea version 5.0.0 Copyright 2009 SIL International and Jonathan Kew.
