Summary description: Use Unicode combining accents in math input with pdfLaTeX
Announcement text:
pdfmathaccents lets you type accented mathematical symbols directly in your source file using Unicode combining characters. With the package loaded, the two-character sequence “x” + U+0302 (combining circumflex accent) – which your editor displays as an accented letter – is typeset in math mode as “\hat x”, and likewise for fifteen other combining characters (grave, acute, tilde, macron, breve, dot, diaeresis, caron, ring, vector arrow, and more). This is the pdfLaTeX companion of the luamathaccents package. This is the first release.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfmathaccents The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfmathaccents/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

pdfmathaccents – Use Unicode combining accents in math input with pdfLaTeX
This package lets you type accented mathematical symbols directly in your source file using Unicode combining characters. With the package loaded, a base character (an ASCII letter or digit) followed by a supported combining character (for instance “x” + U+0302, combining circumflex accent) is typeset in math mode as the corresponding accent command (\hat x), and likewise for fifteen other combining characters.
It is the pdfLaTeX companion of the luamathaccents package: pdfTeX cannot rewrite the input line the way LuaTeX does, so this package instead makes letters and digits math-active so that they can inspect the following token.
