So how should I solve problem 1/ ? I see 3 solutions
a/ replace ≠ with a \neq directly in the document at input time; we might not want to do that in case we eventually use unicode in math too
b/ replace ≠ with a \neq on screen only
c/ keep the ≠ on screen, but use the mathrel math class from \neq so that we have a good spacing

I would say (a) but only for symbols that are actually translated in output.

What I wonder is whether keeping the unicode characters in the document could be helpful (for html/docbook export, for example) and avoid overrriding users actions. I think I will try b/ first, until I have other people (Günther, do you read this?) tell me that I can get rid of unicode keys early.

Also, things like ² are translated to more complex commands like {}^2, I am not sure that I want to insert it with an editable nucleus.

Then, I see that there are two ways of matching \neq to U+2260:
i/ lib/unicodesymbol has a "mathcommand" entry for that (which is presumably used right now)
ii/ lib/symbols also links these elements

Which one is more reliable for what I want to do?

As I see it, (i) is for export and (ii) is for screen representation, so I would suggest using (i).

Right.

My general problem is that, while I see what happens with \neq, I suspect that many weird things can happen with other characters.

Any advice?

Be careful ;)

Indeed. This is probably not 2.4 material anyway, unless it turns out to be very easy to implement.
