Can we please stop with abusing ligatures for things like != into ≠? If you want APL, please use APL and leave the rest of us alone.

!= is two bloody characters not one.

And now people are doing it for 3 characters.

With this kind of thing, you get all the text editing idiocy of combining characters (like emojis) for no benefit at all.

Well, what if instead of wanting APL (an array-based programming language that really has nothing in common semantically with the one I use day-to-day), I just want things that are conceptually one symbol to actually look like one symbol? After all, you do not have to use my computer which has them enabled, and you do not have to enable them to use fonts that include them. This is straightforwardly 'other people should stop having preferences': No, thank you.
