Writing Prettier Haskell with Unicode Syntax and Vim

Honestly, I would have had this concern ~10 years ago, but it's 2023. Unicode is ubiquitous, to the point that you'd need to pretty aggressively go out of your way to find things breaking due to it.

Roboto Mono doesn't support all the math glyphs, even some of the ones TFA uses: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36438765

It's still much more annoying than it should be to input Unicode characters in most operating systems and text editors, though.

I agree, in Kitty I'd have to hit C-S-u and then type fora... to get ∀. Good thing I can just type forall and the formatter replaces the keyword with the symbol for me :) Same for transforming othey symbols, like :: and =>, <=, ->, <- into single characters.
