most emoji are banned, as are nonstandard space symbols like thin space and some other things. emoticons (things like :-) and XD) are allowed. generally alphabetic characters and digits are allowed, and some other things, but i think unknown unicode is forbidden by default. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23440551 has some investigation and results which are probably still accurate
i do most of my algebraic formulas with the compose key and a custom compose map mostly written by mark shoulson https://github.com/kragen/xcompose
for the above i pasted part of the old permic table from wikipedia

Also, since the default Compose file doesn't quite satisfy, see https://github.com/kragen/xcompose; they have defined a bunch of key sequences, which I use (with some extensions of my own — for example, I wanted a quick way to type a̋, and this wasn't built into the default sequences, since it uses a combining character).

My setup for conlanging. Vim, XeLaTex and Zathura. What do you guys use?
Well, I wasn't aware of this shortcut — that being said, it doesn't matter, because I'm on Linux and use the Compose key anyway (essentially, I type Left Alt and then a key sequence); and I've installed the extensions found at https://github.com/kragen/xcompose, which supplies many more combinations which the default XCompose doesn't contain.

Moving the Ctrl Key
Another possible solution is to define a compose key (I use SysRq) to type characters not on the keyboard, such that (for example) the three-key sequence "SysRq . Z" is Ż.
Here's the XCompose file I use:

A while ago I posted my Idea for a math keyboard. I got a ton of helpful advice so I am posting version two. Thanks so much please let me know what you guys think.
Have you ever heard of compose? That's also very helpful. If you use linux, take a look at https://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/pmwiki.php?n=Main.XCompose and https://github.com/kragen/xcompose .

Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2]
I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose). [3]

How do you write a character not present in unicode?
I use WinCompose which gives me the same compose-key functionality that's built into Linux. I've chosen one key on my keyboard to be the Compose key (I use Right-Alt, but you can pick any key that's convenient). Then I can type

Assuming you are on desktop/laptop:
The long-winded way is to use your OS's character map tool: find the glyph you want there and copy+paste. Under Windows 10+ there is the emoji keyboard (hit [win]+;) which also gives access to much more including super-/sub- script characters, which is a little more convenient than character map. Presumably other OSs have similar available too.
Better is to have support for a compose key sequence. Usually build in to Linux & similar, you just might have to find the setting to turn it on and configure what your compose key is. Under Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ and there are a couple of similar tools out there. In any case it is useful for more than super- and sub-scripts: accented characters & similar (áàäæçffñ), some fractions (¼,½,¾), other symbols (°∞™®↑↓←→‽¡¿⸘♥⋘»‱), and configurable too so you can make what you use most easiest to access (and if you are really sad like me you can do something https://xkcd.com/2583/ to type hallelujah too!).
