iPad Special Characters: Mathematical Symbols

Are there any shortcuts in creating symbols like angles, pi? or the only way to do this is by copy pasting from the internet? On the iPad’s dedicated magic keyboard. Thanks!!

For many symbols you will need to use a 3rd party screen keyboard app. Or you can create a text replacemet

But the option level of the US hardware keyboard does have some that may be useful:
