I want to add another symbols in equation expect Latin, when I insert something else, like math symbols, it's said invalid equation. Should I switch to another editor, if develop team not gonna add support for that?

Apple's equation support in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote is restricted to the subset of LaTeX/MathML syntax that is supported by the inherent translator in Pages. You can read more about that support, and the syntax restrictions in the following article, and by downloading the blahtex user guide (PDF) that describes the allowed syntax:
About LaTeX and MathML support in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - Apple Support

If you want to input Unicode, you can launch the Emoji & Symbols (Character viewer) panel and double-click a character to insert it where the x appears in:
\textrm{x}
\textrm{⌘}
The blahtex manual mentioned above has a large table of LaTeX symbols that are supported too. You can also directly enter MathML as blahtex would convert any LaTeX input to embedded MathML in Pages. This equation survives opening an exported Word (docx) in MS Word (e.g. Office 2021 for Mac) too.

Pages Equation editor will accept either a subset of LaTeX or MathML, but not the full spec of either. An external LaTeX editor will allow you to paste image, PDF, and now SVG equation content into Pages, but if you plan to share exported Pages content as a Word document, those images may pose a problem.
There are LaTeX packages and/or MacTeX applications that may assist in converting the LaTeX source to Word documents, and there is a PDFX package for generating a wide range of PDF documents. This may provide you more power than fiddling with Pages and its Math restrictions.
Ok, I found something more, you can add symbol Phi by write \Phi (LaTeX), but cannot paste Phi symbol, I afraid to paste Unicode symbols
Actually, Very well solution, but for casual user
any way thanks
I should say, what I am using web editor for writing LaTeX, and where’s no a lot of feature support for hard syntax(just simple set), maybe I should looking for MathML editor
Really helpful, thanks!
You are welcome.
