Alist of symbol prettifications.

Each element looks like (SYMBOL . CHARACTER), where the symbol matching SYMBOL (a string, not a regexp) will be shown as CHARACTER instead.

CHARACTER can be a character, or it can be a list or vector, in which case it will be used to compose the new symbol as per the third argument of compose-region.
