Game Symbol

edit

The character ⅁ (U+2141, “TURNED SANS-SERIF CAPITAL G”) is also called “game”. This must be a mathematical symbol, but what does it stand for, or how is it used? --131.169.184.136 17:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

No representation for wild animal

I don't know where the idea came from that animals referred to as "game" are strictly food, but where I'm from, they're just wild. Here, there's a Yellow River Game Ranch, and we certainly don't want to eat our weather groundhog, General Beauregard Lee  Supuhstar *  05:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Game animals are hunted for food or sport, and the term comes from the latter use--game or sport hunting. Any animal that might be hunted for sport is therefore a game animal, whether or not it is actually hunted or eaten.--ShelfSkewed Talk 14:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
