But arent you taught that in school?

No, not without taking an optional class in high school

I concede that very few people bother to learn the sequence or create a keybinding to symbols used at school. However, every keyboard that has a searchable emoji picker should also index the rest of Unicode in my opinion.

Custom keybindings I use the most are (in no particular order) πµΩαβγΔ²³±√∞≤≥≠∈⋮⌀∙█⚠☢☣♥⚙✔✖❗←↑→↓·ẞ, nbsp and hair space. There is also ☃ (Shift+AltGr+8) as an XKCD reference.

This is America. We are taught as little as possible in school. I promise you less than 10% of teachers know how to make an omega symbol on a computer let alone know how to teach that to a kid who has only interacted with an iPhone.

I thought the person i responded to was referring to drawing on paper
