Is there a text editor/notes app that adds Unicode symbols?
For example, there is Material Notes which has a editor toolbar with bold, indented, stroke, etc. But this is rendered, exported to json or syntax like Markdown. This app too, in which i write this on lemmy, does the same. We have ☐, ☒, •, ‣ in Unicode, 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡, s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so why not use this?
Basically, what i'm looking for is a text editor with toolbar/keystrokes for Android or Linux, which adds unicode symbols for rich text. It would make reading plain text notes/todo lists cross-device simpler. Yes, there's UnicodePad and Charmap but that's not the same.
edit: something where you mark a word, tap the B in the toolbar or press ctrl+b and it replaces the characters with uc bold characters, no? Tap the list button and it adds uc bullet points, etc...

This shouldn't be too hard to implement in Emacs.
Org-mode mostly does this already. Just needs a shortcut to surround the marked area with the correct symbols.
Org-mode is splendid and i use it almost every day, but i think what op is asking for is something different. If i want to write something like this:
s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵
i would use
+stroke+in Org-mode. If i then setorg-hide-emphasis-markerstot, the+signs are hidden, but they are still there. If i save the file, and open it in another program, it is still+stroke+, instead of the unicode variant. The feature asked for was intended for the following use-case:It would make reading plain text notes/todo lists cross-device simpler.
Which Org-mode would fail to deliver on.
Export to latex (and to pdf)?
It already is:
