You can configure your editor to do that. I did it in nvim.

However my teachers always told me to stop doing it. I am yet to learn the reason why.

Are your teachers reading your screens a lot? Because it's a PITA to read if you're not using it yourself.

Also if you demo code you should switch to the more traditional so that others don't have a hard time reading.

Basically it's just down to the human brains amazing ability to do pattern recognition subconsciously so you don't have to actively think about what that symbol means - unless someone used a different symbol.

Not a lot but they warn me of weird copy and paste shenanigans. But normally the compiler gives out a warning and when copying text is just simple.
