Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using <-> instead of ↔ for bidirectional relationships

Fix: Use &harr; (↔) for bidirectional relationships in mathematics. The ASCII <-> is informal.

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing ↔ (bidirectional) with ⇔ (logical equivalence)

Fix: Use ↔ for bidirectional mappings and ⇔ (&hArr;) for logical equivalence (P ⇔ Q means "P if and only if Q").
