I'm always asking "why haven't scientists come up with more symbols yet?" I also ask "why haven't more symbols been introduced to our keyboards? Just !@#$%&*..

It's strange, esp. when you realize coming up with a new symbol that everyone uses is easier these days than it was 4 centuries ago!
- swiley 9y agoThere are many strange symbols in math already that can be difficult to type without something like LaTeX. I feel like something pronounceable is usually better unless you have a sufficiently general idea.
