    I'm pretty sure the first two links refer to something very different than the third: The first two are about a way to encode maths using unicode, as in conventions and special cha…

    To me, the question that springs to mind then is: does that kind of attitude work as well for “lesser” mathematicians/people? (I'm not sure it does)

    So, I guess in the meantime some developments on the idea have been made. What would a modern intro/reference be?
