I weep at the beauty of old keywords for APL or ALGOL programming with all of these useful symbols for programming. Now everyone says “I cAn’T tYpE aN aRrOw On My KeyBoArD” when I use Unicode in the languages that support it… buddy, you used to be able to & I have news for you when it comes to the symbols you think every keyboard has just because you are used to ASCII.

Ironically these are often the same folks abusing ligatures in their text editors.
