Description

I much prefer writing the majority of my source math using Unicode, which generally works really well with MathJax.

I have noticed, however, when I want to display calligraphic math, I find that they render using an unexpected font in MathJax.

My suggestion is thus that the Unicode range starting at 1D49C render similar to \mathcal{…}

As an example, the insert the following on https://www.mathjax.org/#demo:

$$
\mathcal{O} \quad\quad 𝒪
$$

Which renders as

I would expect them to have the same rendering
