I noticed when trying to make a string of 6 \circ
symbols that the last one is closer to the one beside it than the rest of them, after playing with it for a while it looks like an even number (greater than 2) of \circ
causes this, how can I fix the spacing so it is even?
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
1 circ: $\circ $
2 circ: $\circ \circ $
3 circ: $\circ \circ \circ$
4 circ: $\circ \circ \circ \circ$
5 circ: $\circ \circ \circ \circ \circ $
6 circ: $\circ \circ \circ \circ \circ \circ $
7 circ: $\circ \circ \circ \circ \circ \circ \circ $
\end{document}

It doesn't matter if we're in an equation number (
\eqno
); the main issue is math mode where the behavior shows. Since\circ
is a binary operation symbol just like*
, you get the same.If you want evenly spaced
\circ
symbols you can useEven better, define a suitable command:
