I'm trying to insert some symbols from LaTeX Math Symbols into my LaTeX document: under the relational symbols heading, I want join (⨝) and square supset (⊐).
They both have a little b symbol after them. What does that mean; how do I insert them into my doc? I tried adding them ignoring the b but it seemed to error and not work.
I'm using the small Mac install of LaTeX.

If you simply want the character to be printed just as any other letter, include a \ in front of the character. For example, \$ will produce $ in your output. The exception to the rule is the \ itself because \\ has its own special meaning. A \ is produced by typing $\backslash$ in your file.
You may be wondering how to insert symbols in LaTeX. It is possible to add certain symbols in-text while others require LaTeX's math mode to be activated. ”, you can use the command \star in your code.
Simple Dot Symbol in LaTeX In case you are wondering how to write a simple dot symbol the command would be \cdot center dot. The output would look like the dot product, and that's the reason for using \cdot in the dot product.
My copy of A Guide to LaTeX by Helmut and Kopka says of \sqsupset (amongst others):
"Note: the underlined symbol names [...] are only available in LaTeX 2e if one of the packages latexsym or amsfonts has been loaded."
The book doesn't show \Join in its symbol tables at all, however it lists \bowtie which appears to produce the same symbol, and which has no footnotes or warnings associated with it at all :-)
