Description gamahucheur 2005-04-03 23:51:46 UTC

I would particularly like the relational symbol U+227B (and others have writen 
of their desire for it); but, in any event, it would be good to have access to 
the full set of Unicode math characters.

TL: request for enhancement

Comment 2 gamahucheur 2006-10-30 09:50:19 UTC

It cshould be possible to effect this enhancement by introducing or extending an
escape feature.  For example, U+227B might be entered as "%U+227B%".

Reassigned back to requirements. This is the correct owner for RFE's.

This is a very user-interface specific, and users would want names the same
 names as their previous editor of choice. 

Suggest predefined symbols in the catalog for all characters found in
1) unicode http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/2000-2FFF
2) mathml  http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf
3) latex  
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-letter.pdf

In fixing this issue the ability to paste unicode characters into the formula
editor must not be lost.

Comment 5 gamahucheur 2007-07-27 19:33:14 UTC

Allowing characters to be entered with Unicode escapes would largely resolve the
concern express in FAQ question 19:
<URL:http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/formula/019.html>  I am amazed at
the evident reluctance to implement this feature.
