U+1F8B2 (RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH LOWER HOOK)

This seems fine to add, thanks. However, this patch doesn't work as-is, due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances. In particular, we still rely on It's easiest just to special-case this arrow for now so I'll do that (we should really do #381, though 😬 ) |

The character U+1F8B2 (RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH LOWER HOOK) is new is Unicode 16; it is of a kind (no pun intended) with the longstanding characters U+21A9 ↩ (LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK) and U+21AA ↪ (RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK), both of which are already supported as operators in Julia. It was added to Unicode as part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing effort, wherein it was sourced from Smalltalk character sets in the 1970s—so it has a very long history of being used in programming languages. --------- Co-authored-by: Claire Foster <[email protected]>
