I would like NVDA to read basic math symbols, including those on the keyboard, HTML entities and common character sets in the default verbosity setting.
In the default configuration, NVDA will say "one one two" instead of "one plus one equals two" and will ignore other relatively common math symbols like greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, and others.
It is true that some people will abuse these characters and use them to create horizontal lines or other ASCII art, but most of the time the characters mean what they're supposed to mean. Web developers and content writers need to know that basic math can be communicated to users, and I don't mean with MathML or anything fancy. I'm talking about just basic keyboard symbols, HTML entities, and math-related character sets.
