9.43.2.1 How do I turn off equation auto numbering

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=2597

I have an equation like this: 
\begin{align} 
P(A \cup B) = \sum_{\omega \in A \cup B} P(\omega) = \sum_{\omega \in A} P(\omega) + \sum_{\omega \in B} P(\omega) 
= P(A) + P(B) 
\end{...

9.43.2.3 Why do the less than symbol (<) and the greater than symbol (>) appear wrong as upside down exclamation (A^\[DownExclamation]) or question mark (A^\[DownQuestion])?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=2369
