I have been trying to use unicode sysmbols by using ctrl+shift+u then the unicode # but it doesn’t seem to work for me.
I followed the guide here: http://superuser.com/questions/510907/unicode-composition-in-sublime-text to comment out the command being used.

I am looking to use sublime to do some math writing and logic assignments thus need the use of symbols. Just curious if I need a plugin or is there a native feature to sublime that I am just missing.

Googled the heck out of this so I am thinking there is just something I am missing being a sublime noob.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know what you’re doing wrong, but I much enjoy UnicodeComplete from my Sublime Extras extension.

You can just copy the two files (unicodecomplete.py and unicodecomplete_create_cache.py) and skip the rest of the malarky.
Note that it’s going to be broken into parts in an exciting upcoming update, which you should keep in mind if you use the whole extension.

Excellent! Looking forward to it!
