 Notes:

    α  The order of the D27d point group is 108, and the order of the principal axis (S54) is 54. The group has 30 irreducible representations.

    β  The D27d point group is isomorphic to D27h, C54v and D54.

    γ  The D27d point group is generated by two symmetry elements, S54 and either a perpendicular C2 or a vertical σd.
       Also, the group may be generated from a C2 plus a σd (some pairs will yield smaller groups, though; choosing a minimum angle is safe).
       The canonical choice, however, is to use redundant generators: C27, C2 and i.

    δ  The group contains one set of C2 symmetry axes perpendicular to the principal (z) axis. The x axis (but not the y axis) is a member of that set.
       Reversely, the single set of symmetry planes denoted σd contains the yz plane but not the xz plane.

    ε  The lowest nonvanishing multipole moment in D27d is 4 (quadrupole moment).

    ζ  This point group is non-Abelian (some symmetry operations are not commutative).
       Therefore, the character table contains multi-membered classes and degenerate irreducible representations.

    η  Some of the characters in the table are irrational because the order of the principal axis is neither 1,2,3,4 nor 6.
       These irrational values can be expressed as cosine values, or as solutions of algebraic equations with a leading coefficient of 1.
       All characters are algebraic integers of a degree much less than half the order of the principal axis.

    θ  The point group corresponds to a polygon inconstructible by the classical means of ruler and compass. Yet it becomes constructible
       if angle trisection is allowed, e.g., with neusis construction or origami. This is because the order of the principal axis is given
       by a product of any number of different Pierpont primes (...,5,7,13,17,19,37,73,97,109,163,...) times arbitrary powers of two and three.
       All characters of this group can be expressed using complex numbers, elementary arithmetic operations, square roots and third roots.
