I have trouble using the arrow character in general. It's because of the

rendering.
Allow me to mention that similar problems have existed for years in
confusing '0' with 'O' and '1' with 'l' and 'I'. Note that some fonts have
been particularly designed to distinguish these well (mostly the fixed-width
fonts that programmers use). I would expect that similar "well-distinguished"
fonts will appear as unicode becomes more popular.
