Okay, thanks for the information.

Hm, the unicode characters in AUCTeX's math menus should help people
find the needed symbol more easily.  The menus entries are usually
read from left to right, so placing the more easily recognizable
unicode char after the LaTeX macro will defeat the purpose of those
chars to some extent.  I guess we just have to live with some peculiar
backslashes.
