I'm not sure I've understood the exact request. But to enter unicode directly into the textmate window, and have the symbol displayed on screen, and understood by Tex, I include these packages in the preamble.

\usepackage{ucs} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

So now I type, with Unicode keyboard on, Option-207A and a superscript + appears both in the textmate window and in the final compiled document.

In general, I suppose, they say it is better to use the official Tex representation for symbols rather than the Unicode equivalent, but this makes the source document more readable.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

ObTopic: I mean to do this in TextMate.

Suppose I were writing a LaTeX document and wanted to include Unicode literals like ⌘ and ⇧. Is there a way to do that? The returns from Google searches produce only packages that allow other encodings to stand for character combinations TeX already knows.
