> Raku has no qualms about using Unicode operators. You check set membership with ∈. There's also ∉, ∋, and ∌.

Something to note is that there are ASCII equivalents[0] for every cool Unicode operator found in Raku. For example, the equivalents for ∈, ∉, ∋, ∌ are (elem), !(elem), (cont), !(cont).

I would definitely use the ASCII versions.

Why? It's less readable. I like how JetBrains in recent releases renders ">=" as a single glyph. I mean maybe for typing, I see that as a benefit, but I'd hope my IDE would replace them with the proper Unicode character.
