For the technical details, you'll also want to check out:
Unicode ® Technical Report #25 "UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" (PDF)
And since you're familiar with LaTeX, I assume you know about
unicode-math? That's about the only way I know of that easily generates a lot of those obscure maths symbols for you.
Side Note: You may also be interested in Will Robertson's (creator of unicode-math) two TUG talks:

That list is actual OpenType fonts that have the MATH tables in them. This means they're actually usable for all the complex Maths (and I assume MathML).
A bunch of those ol' Type 1 and TeX fonts were all hackishly done. Sure, it worked in PDF and Print where you only care about the finalized LOOK... but absolutely no way those hacks would work in the web+ebooks, where things need to be kept Accessible, and users are able to copy/paste, change fonts, font sizes, display sizes, etc.
It's part of the big reason why AMS + others all pushed to get Maths added to the actual Unicode standard.
