Can I suggest that it would be beneficial to give due consideration with suitable time and testing to the technical possibilities offered by the medium, particularly before you go off on a crusade to try and offer prescriptive approaches to the typesetting on other sites? | |

But the unicode exponents don't match nicely with the TeX $O$ in my font, while the normal O matches fine. This is apparently not always a problem, as your other example shows, but I think this is problematic more often than not. | |
| Apr 12, 2018 at 13:49 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | Can you clarify what you mean by "always looks suboptimal"? Say, pulling from your linked question, can you clarify in what ways $Θ(f) = Ω(f) ∪ O(f)$ ($Θ(f) = Ω(f) ∪ O(f)$) looks suboptimal compared to what you would get with "kosher" TeX inside the mathjax? | |
| Apr 12, 2018 at 13:46 | comment | added | Discrete lizard Mod | @EmilioPisanty "The clutter overhead of the dollar signs is minimal if the mathjax isn't rendered" I disagree. I don't see what the advantage of mixing unicode and TeX would be. Why make something that always looks suboptimal, whether TeX is rendered or not? I mean, the result with the rendered TeX is bad enough IMO not to do this. | |
| Apr 12, 2018 at 13:37 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | You're missing the middle ground here: MathJax will happily take unicode math and render it, so Is $O(n²/2) ≤ O(n²)$? renders as "Is $O(n²/2) ≤ O(n²)$?". The clutter overhead of the dollar signs is minimal if the mathjax isn't rendered, and the improvement in readability where it does render is obvious. | |

| Jan 28, 2018 at 9:18 | comment | added | user82913 | @Discretelizard In conclusion, you suggest to favor unicode math rather than or instead of MathJax. | |
