The actual (alt+X) codes didn't work, so I went into Symbols (using MS Word), used the Unicode (211A) to find squareRoot, and then added a shortcut to the symbol for easy access. I used (CTRL+{). Share
To insert the square root symbol in word, just follow the steps below: Place the insertion pointer at where you want to insert the symbol. Press Alt+= on your keyboard. These hotkeys will show the equation field. Now type \sqrt inside the equation field, then hit the spacebar. Word will convert the text (\sqrt) into a square root symbol.
If I understand your question correctly, you should be able to achieve a square root symbol by typing any of the following into your HTML: "√", "√", or "√" (quote marks for clarity, they aren't part of the entity you enter).
How can we type mathematical symbols like square-root, omega, integration, differentiation etc in gmail.

(Word has an option to remove formatting, but most other programs don't.)

You have some misunderstanding here. Unicode is a 21-bit character set so it can go up to 2'097'151, i.e. the full set is not only 65536 characters.
It can display ₐ₊₋ but some other subscripts (like ₂ₙ) are converted to squares. When I copy that square and paste on here the problem disappears: ₂. Why is that? The file is encoded in UTF-8. FYI:
