Option to disable automatic change of characters while typing

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It seems, there are some automatic replacements in place.

Examples:

When you 4x3 then the x will be replace with a multiply sign Γ—, so the result will be 4Γ—3.

When entering "Text" the quotes will get replaced depending on the language and it may become β€œText”.

However I in some cases it is important to keep the text exactly as it was entered.

Describe the solution you'd like There is either a global configuration in config/config.php to disable this kind of formatting or an option to disable it in the text editor when needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered Removing the formatting completely and add an additional menu to enter special characters from a drop down list, when needed. This would also allow to enter characters which can not be found on keyboards like mathematical symbols etc..
