Wow. The only way that I'd know how to get those characters would 
be to copy-paste them from somewhere. I'm sure that there's a far 
easier way to generate them, but if a symbol isn't actually on my 
keyboard, I wouldn't have a clue how to type it, and I would have 
thought that support for typing it would be editor-specific. In 
general, I would have expected it to be a total disaster if a 
language used any non-ASCII characters in its syntax.
