I want to prettify "\cos" to be "cos".  Have used ("\\cos" . ?cos)
but this gives

Invalid read syntax: ?

That's because ?cos is no character.  ?c would be.  The replacements of
`prettify-symbols-alist' must be characters (or something being valid
input for `compose-region's 3rd parameter).

For delimeters do I need to escape using "\"

("\\lbrace" . ?\{) ("\\rbrace" . ?\}) ("\\lbrack" . ?\[)
("\\rbrack" . ?\]) ("\\langle" . ?\⟨) ("\\rangle" . ?\⟩)
("\\lceil" . ?⌈) ("\\rceil" . ?⌉) ("\\lfloor" . ?⌊)
("\\rfloor" . ?⌋)
