I'd add that not everyone uses Latin-based languages, as well. Why
shouldn't a Cherokee math teacher be able to write Ꭱ^ᎢᏫ? Or a Chinese
economics teacher 基^息? Even within Latin languages, natural characters
have all sorts of diacritics on them, like ĉ, ĥ, and õ, with
mathematics offering its own set. CJKV ideographs alone are the
majority of Unicode characters, and with a billion Chinese speakers,
I'll eat my hat if there aren't published examples of ideographs being
used that way.
