You can use whatever snippet plugin is available for your editor.

    I'm not sure what a "snippet plugin" is, but I assume you're telling me to set up my own ad-hoc unicode entry system. Um... thanks. I'm sure that won't become unmanageable.

      No, I am telling you to use the capabilities of whatever editor you use. Atom for example has support for snippets built in. For others there editor plugins. With little or more effort (depending) you can set up snippets that give you unicode operators.

      I use a snippet file for Atom that lets me, for example, type Inf(SHIFT-TAB) and i get the infinity symbol in my editor.

        I'm still not sure what a "snippet" is, but you're definitely telling me that I should invent my own unicode mapping and "with little or more effort" implement it in 672 lines of JSON. If only I weren't so darned lazy.
