Replacing latex with unicode symbols
- by Elazar Leibovich
Often, during a conversation or an email, or at a forum, I would like to type some math, but I don't need full equation support. Unicode symbols should suffice.
What I need is an easy way to type math related unicode symbols. Since I already know latex, it makes sense to use the latex symbol mnemonics to type the math symbols.
What I currently did is to write an AutoHotKey script which automatically replaces \latexSymbol with the corresponding unicode symbol, using the "hotstrings" AutoHotKey feautres. However, the AutoHotKey hotstrings proved unstable for many strings. Having a couple of tens lines would cause AHK to fail recognizing the strings from time to time.
Any other solution? (No, Alt+unicode number isn't convenient enough)
Attached is my AHK script. The PutUni function is taken from here.

PutUni("e2889e")

PutUni("e28891")
