IIRC, X-Symbol has a really large array of input methods including
completion, a "grid", and various forms of cycling through several
symbols.
The TeX input method is not at all helpful here since its purpose is
getting a single character in your file when knowing the full TeX
sequence which is pretty much the opposite of what X-Symbol does.

The utf8x input encoding tends to fare somewhat better.

Maybe doing overlays reasonably efficiently (like text properties are)
would be sort of an idea after decades.
