[Cuis-dev] [RFC] AsciArt for UnicodeInput

[Gerald Klix]

Luciano,

I added these symbols to this very method and this very dictionary.

A neat side effect that you can type "\.left" in any text editor
(not only code editor)
and it will be replaced by the left arrow (→) or – if you don't know Latex
well – you can type \.-> and get the same.

I personally find it easier to remember than those Latex names,
although I write letters and invoices with Latex.


Just my 0.00€,

Gerald
