In Germany, you have another code, namely the Marburger maths code. However I
stopped learning it after a year and moved onto LaTeX. A number of schools are
doing the same in Germany as well. Just for the records.

It appears to me that there will never be a common maths code across the world.

Being able to represent a unicode character as a LaTeX command is quite handy at
times, therefore I wrote uTeXer [1], which does a basic job in translating from
unicode symbols to LaTeX.
