It is pretty, though some of the sigils still look... strange - at least if you expect them to look like they might in LaTeX or something.
Still, I can't imagine having to type those regularly. I don't count keystrokes or anything, but that just seems harsh.
The typing isn't the bad part...you're going to spend more time reading the code than writing it, and it definitely helps readability. But, I do find I have a hard time keeping enough of Perl 6 in my head to make sense of what I'm reading. I believe this is because it's so new to me, even though I've written and read Perl 5 or many years. But, it also seems intimidatingly large as languages go.
Anyway, I think I'm sympathetic to where you're coming from; Perl 6 is challenging looking. We may disagree about why. But, I think I like the Unicode enough to consider it a net positive for readability, even though I also think it makes for a very broad and deep language that will need ages to properly wrap ones head around. But, then again, if a language isn't big and broad, a big and broad ecosystem develops anyway (see JavaScript and so-called "JavaScript fatigue" for a prime example of that), so there's still a tremendous amount to grok before being really productive and literate in the language.
I posted an example of hyper operators a little while back, and used the Texas variants because I thought it might be intimidating to show them with Unicode...and, they were just so darned clunky looking, I had to change them back, and included a little note that there was a non-Unicode way to use the feature, as well
