I'm about halfway through reading Synopsis 3 and have a couple

Is there, should there be unicode synonyms for the feed operators? eg
<== is also ⇐ ⇐ LEFTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
==> is also ⇒ ⇒ RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW
I don't see as obvious candidates for <<== and ==>>, maybe LEFTWARDS ,
RIGHTWARDS TWO HEADED ARROW ↞ and ↠. That's good in that the two
headed arrow looks like the angle brackets, but then the arrow shaft
isn't doubled, so it's more of a unicode synonym for -->>
I have trouble using the arrow character in general. It's because of
the fonts: they have such tiny heads the arrow doesn't show well at
all, or match the surrounding character style. So I tend to avoid them
on web pages, and any document where I'm not fully controlling the font
mapping and rendering.
