Changed * to × (U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN) and / to ∕ (U+2215 DIVISION SLASH).

I don't like ÷, and I can't be bothered about whitespace. Sorry!

Thank you for writing out that extremely clear sequence of inequalities. I love a good Unicode style debate, but regardless you absolutely nailed it with conceptual clarity.

I always forget about DIVISION SLASH and that it’s a thing, distinct from FRACTION SLASH (which I use regularly). I wonder if I should add it to my compose key. Nah, I think ÷ and FRACTION SLASH are enough for me.
