This problem is exactly what ISO 14755 is all about.

Users should be able to type Shift-Ctrl-222E for Unicode character 222E.
Users should be able to move the mouse on top of that character and see
222E CONTOUR INTEGRAL. For printouts on business cards I'd expect a
small boxed 222E on the next line.
