Yes it seems to work in some better version of markdown, but sadly not in the one used here on steemit.

Yes, you are correct. Finally, I was able to manage my problem with the help of this site. With the help of that site and markdown syntaxes, I was able to publish this blog post.

Another suggestion: Encapsule your equations with "`":
a² + b² = c² →
a²+b²=c²That way the reader can better differentiate between equation and text.
In case you don't plan to stay dependent on your website, here is how I manage those special characters:
I just put some of the useful symbols(like ∇(alt gr+shift+2) or ħ(alt gr+h) or some greek letters) on my keyboard.
And I don't know how far this is implemented on other OS's, but on Linux you can type super-/subscripts by typing ^ or ˇ once and then the symbol/number. Sadly this only works for numbers and
⁽⁾⁺⁻₍₎₊₋. Trying to use it on letters yieds things like î and ǐ.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

This is great ... I will try it on my next blog. I am also using Linux. How did you add symbols to your keyboard? Thank you

Maybe there is a program you could do this with, but I just changed my layout directly in the code.
You can go to the folder
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbolsThere you will find a ton of documents with short names. All those contain all the different keyboard layouts you can select when you open the "keyboard"(might be included in some other options application depending on your linux distribution) application.
Now you need to find the document where your layout is described in.
For English this would be either "gb" or "us".
You need to open the document as administrator!
In the files there are several regions encapsuled with
{}. Those are the individual layouts you can select. You can go through the names(defined with something likename[Group1]="English (UK)";) until you find your layout.There you can edit your layout.
The layouts are defined similar to this:
key <AE02> { [ 2, quotedbl, twosuperior, nabla ] };Or more general:
key <some key code> { [ key, shift+key, alt gr+key, shift+alt gr+key ] };If you don't know this key code for a key, you can look at the included layout to find it.
As you can see there is a special name for most of the characters(like 2 for 2, or nabla for ∇). If you don't know this name, you can search your character in the internet. There you might find a certain code associated with that character(like U03B1 for α) and enter that instead.
You might need to restart your computer after you did it, but I'm not sure.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help. I will try this in my future blogs.
