Pre-process unicode chars in MathJax #7

Open SuzanneSoy opened 7 years ago

We should replace a palette of known Unicode chars with their LaTeX equivalent where possible.

See https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/1801, the width of some characters is not correctly computed in the HTML-CSS mode (which we use for now to have as much compatibility as possible), and the ᵢ does not look like _i anyway (it's a straight i, and does not use the math font).

Partially done with (map katex-convert-unicode (flatten strs)), but this should also handle delayed scribble elements, and support more characters (I need to make my .XCompose database a bit more complete and export the LaTeX translations contained within)
