As you can see, it is not possible to use ¬ symbol as an alias. This symbol is used commonly for negation, it is a bit surprising that I cannot use it as an alias.

Actually, I have some a list of sets that can be added

Arrows 2190-21FF Leterlike Symbols 2100-214F Miscellaneous Methematical Symbols_A 27C0-27EF Suplemental Arrows_A 27F0-27FF Suplemental Arrows_B 2900-297F Miscellaneous Methematical Symbols_B 2980-29FF Supplemental Mathematical Operators 2A00-2AFF Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols 1D400-1D7FF

I don't think \neg belongs to either of these sets.

This is true, according to the Wikipedia article it is 00AC. Would it make sense to just allow any unicode symbols in aliases? Are there any technical challenges there?

No technical problems, I just don't want this feature to be abused by using some extremely weird symbols.
