Hi Luciano,

We did this essentially to enable readers of The Cuis Book to copy code 
from the book and paste into Smalltalk, with nice looking ST-80 glyphs, 
and without needing to know about these details.

I have just added a #replaceUnicodeArrowsWithSmalltalkArrows preferences 
that defaults to true. Please turn it off. I believe now the behavior 
will be ok for you (and any experienced Smalltalker). If not, please tell!

Cheers,
