Description of the new feature / enhancement

With this feature, there will be a checkbox to toggle weather math symbols are included in the set of available characters.

Scenario when this would be used?

The only character set where the math symbols can be found in is the "all characters" option. This is quite excessive for most, as the average use case will only use the symbols and the accents from the language the user writes in (and maybe the Greek alphabet too.) Additionally, the math symbols shouldn't receive their own category, as they are an addition to a character vocabulary, not a replacement. By implementing this feature, users will receive benefits to personalization and convenience.

Supporting information

Examples of math symbols that would be included are: the superscript and subscript numbers (¹, ₁, ², ₂, ³, ₃, ...), the vulgar fractions (½, ⅔, ¾, ...), ∞, °, ~, ∓, the symbols rooting from "=" (≤, ≠, ≙, ...), the double struck letters (ℚ, ℝ, ℤ, ℂ, ℕ), ∈, ∃, ∄, θ, π, ∀, ∑, ∫, δ, °F, ƒ.

I also find this useful, another option could be to allow more than one type of character to be selected, and not just one option as now, so that only the necessary ones for each user are used, in the fully available characters option the subscripts are only for numbers, the subscripts for letters are missing, for example:

Scientific and mathematical notations
xₙ (x sub n)
yₘ (y sub m)
zₚ (z sub p)
Aₙ (A sub n)
Bₘ (B sub m)

Greek letters
φₛ (phi sub s)
θₘ (theta sub m)
αₙ (alpha sub n)
βₖ (beta sub k)
γₚ (gamma sub p)

You can't do this with subscript letters
