Even Spanish keyboards only have a dedicated Ñ key, so you have to use multi-key sequences to input ÁÉÍÓÚÜ etc.

And even after typing in Spanish for five years, it's still objectively more annoying to write está (6 keypresses) vs esta (4 keypresses). And I'm always having to go back and correct the key sequence because I've written ´a instead of á.

Also, just today I saw someone use "⇸" (crossed out arrow) on HN and it was so tiny with HN's font that I had to zoom in to see what it was which only inhibited their message.

You have to consider this sort of overhead when making decisions about the glyphs you are going to impose upon everyone when designing a language.

I've seen pages and pages of bike-shedding over whether to use kebab-case over snake_case for a DSL because it's one less keypress to type a hyphen vs underscore.

I can appreciate your preference for those characters. It's nice how they can encode meaning in a single glyph where you would otherwise need multiple glyphs (like "!="). One solution that you can find people doing today are IDE plugins that simply rerender something like "->" as "→".

Seems like the best of all worlds. You get to work with higher level characters while the plaintext format remains in the most accessible common denominator.
