There's no space for larger letters diagonally unless I waste screen estate by increasing the font size, which I categorically will not do. So I'd need to replace a font I'm happy with and find one with other symbols that are readable enough. In which case it's just as easy and less invasive for me to adjust my editor to display them using different glyphs. In which case I can just as well do that with the actually ASCII control characters. The point is that their stated "advantage" does not exist for me. I still need to make changes to my setup to handle them. In which case why should I pick this option? (as you can see elsewhere, especially as this isn't the only issue I have with their format choices). > And the main benefit isn't anything to do with the editor, I have no idea what you meant by that. The main benefit relative to using the actual control characters is only the tool support. Where this does not work for me without making changes anyway to how the symbols are displayed anyway. Hence that "advantage" does not actually buy me anything.
