Which character exactly are you talking about? Please indicate the
code point number.
Why? What would be the benefit? This suggestion would make the
basic C++ syntax non-ASCII, which seems a non-starter to me.
Why only the right arrow character, and not any of the other
look-alikes for C++ syntax characters, e.g.
U+27E8 MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET
U+27E9 MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET
?
