       ## for multiply
** for divide There could be a book of ever more complicated codes for different functions, e.g. **#*## for sqrt, or ••####*## for arcsin.

       '###' could be used to get at all the unusual functions, using the letters which are printed on your phone's keypad to identify them, so ###74 is Pi, ###76 ("sn") is Sin, ###27 ("cs") is Cos, ###39 ("ex") is exponent, etc.
