Hello,
Could the dot operator, ⋅ (U+22C5), be added please?
It is used to represent multiplication and the dot product all the time in mathematics. Issue #561 requested more maths characters, well here is a high priority one. This character also appears when LaTeX reads the commonly used \cdot function. Finally, I encountered the issue myself while using the Julia programming language. Issue #584 points out that Julia uses many Unicode characters, well once again I think this is a high priority one. Julia uses ⋅ as an alternative to the * multiplication operator. Also, the identity matrix populates elements off the main diagonal with ⋅, which is an unavoidable occurrence, unlike the multiplication example.

I rest my case. (I kid.)
Many thanks!
