A lot of them are inconvenient IMHO since they occur very frequently
e.g. in writing emails. What do you think about having sequences of
three characters? The first one is a kind of escape character, say,
`C-.', followed by your two-character sequences (or a one-character
sequence if that makes sense).
My comments below are only valid if you really want to add
two-character sequences. Otherwise, X compose sequences are probably
the best.

This conflicts with many programming languages where you have to type
\\ regularly.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Hmm, has Emacs a feature to make non-breaking spaces visible?
> + ("+_" ?±)
I would rather use what the compose feature of X uses, namely `+-'.
> + ("-*" ?)
For most fonts, this is graphically the same as a normal hyphen.
Emacs should also provide a means to make them visually different.

I don't like to have the underscore in such sequences since it means
an additional keystroke. For my proposed three-character sequences,
a better choice would be `12', `14', and `34', respectively.
> + ("//" ?÷)
`//' is already in use. It produces `°'. I *hate* this one, since
typing URLs is a real pain. With my proposal, this could be come
`C-. o'.
