It's an ongoing project. As you seem to have guessed, Unicode math symbols are just about as useless for representing math as Unicode music symbols are for representing music. Producing mathematical documents is done using dedicated software, generally LaTeX.

(And what you get is a PDF, because, as I noted in another comment, PDFs already support every notation there is, was, or ever will be.)
