I believe you are inserting the Unicode in the buffer. It will be useful to have export feature of the selected text into TeX/LaTeX.
Respected Sir, Currently it's just a keymap which makes use of the facilities provided to us by the iiimf (Internet/Intranet Input Method Framework). But I intend to build more over it, maybe a full fledged mathematical package . And while compiling it I came across a lot of demerits of current Unicode encoding scheme for mathematical text input.
might be there only one, missing some maths symbol
If I am not wrong TeX/LateX use font based rendering scheme to generate final images of the mathematical formulas which are not character symbols.
Unicode has incorporated many symbols already in Unicode, so as far as Character symbol has corresponding Unicode code point and font has corresponding shape included in it, i think it should not create any problem

Currently TeX/LateX can do "much much" more than just raw Unicode characters for mathematical text input. I am also planning to write some kind of white paper on this.
yeah, that will be nice
Nice work congrats
