That's why Microsoft has introduced "Ink Equation" which allows one to
use a digital drawing pad to scribble math expressions into a Word
document.

Math input is a pain in the goddamned fucking ass.  It's got to get
easier and stupid markup is NOT going to make any improvement.

Consider the following:

ⅈℏ ∂𝚿∕∂𝑡 = - ℏ²∕2𝑚 ∂²𝚿∕∂𝑥² + 𝑉(𝑥)𝚿(𝑥,𝑡) = 𝐻[𝚿(𝑥,𝑡)]

This is an example of in-line Unicode.  There are NO ASCII
characters.  Even the "t" and "x" are special Unicode math
symbols.

This expression can be used "as is" or it could be machine
parsed to produce a typeset-style form.

But this straightforward equation required a comparatively
long time to compose only because I had to look up the hex
code for each symbol.  However, if I had a special KEYBOARD
the entry could have gone MUCH FASTER, and with practice
such keyboard entry would allow math entry to be very
efficient -- a LOT more efficient than the markup alternatives.

Furthermore, Unicode promises to be UNAMBIGUOUS and this is
important for machine reading and parsing.

For example, Unicode has "invisible" operators that can be
inserted into such expressions as "mv" so that a parser
can know that "m" is multiplied by "v."

There is no reason why conventional keyboards cannot be made
with expansion ports to allow add-on specialized keyboards.

No one cares about your "opinion."  You are NOT an innovator.
You can only shoddily employ what others have introduced.

Unicode with specialized keyboards is the ONLY viable method.

In the future, people will laugh at your stupid javashit/markup.

Jackass.
