The process of encoding mathematical characters has used experts from a
coalition of publishers to help make the differentiation between
"ad-hoc" and "conventional" symbols. Only if there's a convention around
the use of a symbol does it deserve encoding. If there's been a budding
convention around some symbol (republication across other works) that
was missed by this process, it would be nice to get access to this
information from participants.
