I've been pleasantly surprised by how guessable most of them are.
Occasionally I have to dig a bit deeper, but for diacritics,
superscripts (using the "^", as well as subscripts using "_"),
fractions, and arrows (either a "-" or a "|" followed by a
character that looks like the arrow-head "<>v^") are all pretty easy
to guess when you understand the patterns.
