Thanks all for the suggestions! VIM and I have never gone together well, probably mostly my fault I know. Maybe some day... Emacs isn't my favorite either. I do have Notepad++, but it only seems to support a small portion of the unicode I need. Normally I use TextPad, but it wouldn't show me any of the symbols I need, even though it supposedly should read the document as Unicode. But regardless of I find an editor I could use, NAD's suggestion is really the best:
- Support for Unicode symbols for e.g. ->. Fixing that would require me to have a Unicode-compliant editor
Can't you just use character literals like '\x2192'?
Doh, of course! That's not only the simplest but also clearly the most portable solution, since then I (and others looking at the code) could use whatever editor I like. Thanks NAD! :-) Cheers, /Niklas
