Unicode does have those; see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_mathematical_operators_and_symbols

The main area where plain HTML + Unicode fails for mathematical 
typesetting is notation requiring fancy vertical layout, such as 
matrices, fractions or binomials.  Algorithmic code rarely uses those, 
making plain HTML a feasible solution there.
