The Empty Set, the Unordered Pair and the Singleton

The empty set is the unique set with no elements; the unordered pair of two sets is the unique set whose elements are exactly those two; the singleton of a set is the pair of the set with itself.

Statement

The empty set ∅\emptyset is the unique set with no element, given by Elements Are Sets, and the Empty Set and the Pair of Two Sets Exist and Are Unique §empty.

For sets xx and yy, the unordered pair {x,y}\{x,y\} is the unique set whose elements are exactly xx and yy, given by Elements Are Sets, and the Empty Set and the Pair of Two Sets Exist and Are Unique §pair.

For a set xx, the singleton of xx is {x}={x,x}\{x\}=\{x,x\}; its only element is xx, by Elements Are Sets, and the Empty Set and the Pair of Two Sets Exist and Are Unique §pair.

All three are defined set symbols.
