One can have text translations on MacOS, for example, "…" is translated into 
“…”, and as an experiment, I have set |-> translated into ↦. (Xcode does not 
translate, though.) But the GUI is cumbersome and there may be risk for errors, 
for example in a computer language where -> should be exactly that instead of 
→. Also, the characters have the advantage that they off-load human memory. :-)
