https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=749568

Without changing anything in the document, including the unicode-math package seems to modify the kerning of letters in math mode or at the boundary between math and regular text. Compare this example

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=749548

Snippet from fontspec's documentation: 
Semi-colon-lists Not a real data structure but sensible to name accordingly.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=749468

Ia^\200\231m not sure if this is the best approach, but Ia^\200\231ve been trying to create a curly brace using an explicit mathematical function. 
So far, Ia^\200\231ve combined a couple of curves to approximate the shape, but ...

11.54.1.7 Is there a build in expl3 function for ceiling an integer division ( \int_div_ceil:nn )?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=749538

Ia^\200\231m currently using a custom function to perform integer division with rounding up (ceiling division) in expl3: 
\cs_new:Npn \int_div_ceil:nn #1#2 
{ 
\int_div_truncate:nn { #1 + #2 - 1 } { #2 } 
}
