    believe it or not its more likely they straight up ripped off U+1D54F MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X:

    Saw this on Mastodon:

    Important sets:

    ℂ the complex numbers

    ℕ the natural numbers

    ℚ the rational numbers

    ℝ the real numbers

    𝕏 the set of fascists wannabes

    ℤ the integers
