couple instances with the TeX input method.

Thanks, but please compare this with the patches discussed in

I think it already includes your additions.

Thanks for the pointer, those patches are definitely related. Unless I have overlooked something in the latest patches in that thread, the patch I sent is not subsumed. The aim of this patch is not to add new symbols, but to change which unicode "characters" are generated by existing rules. In particular, to use math symbols that are usually rendered single-width rather than CJK punctuation which is often rendered double-width.

But this will certainly conflict with the patches in the linked discussion, so I'm happy to wait for that discussion to resolve and refresh this one.

Thanks, Josh
