everyone knows how iportant are
operator symbols in C

i found it interesting to watch over
a unicode to find soem that could be
eventually interesting in a context of some language extensions

(somewhat offtioopic is there is some doubt if someone will add new one 
to old c, but theoretically still interesting - form me much practical 
as i work out new syntax and some
extensions over old c, privately)

so i wrote simple review of some of
them i found

mostly i write just to bit a bit clearer whats in teh bag

i start maybe with the less confusing
becouse later soem are confusing as
they are more close looking to some other and that may be confusing

for basic arrows

a←b a→b a↑b  a↓b   potentially quite usable (though i dont know for what)
(arrows may be for assigment but its not clear) a←←←b

in addition i find yet 3
a↔b a↕b a↨b , nice

superscriot (?) or how it is called
a¹ba¹º²³b , nice but i dont found
all digits nor normal leters - only some, all would be usefull, could be
good as part of user names (²could be handy for square but other would 
be wastefull used like that)

i didint found subscripts - though probably i watched only soem part of 
unicode - but will need to stay probably with this more central part 
probably

a±b a≈b a≠b a≡b a≤b a≥b

okay nice, could be handy

a«ba»b also nice,
a‹ba›b something liek above but single

a“xx”b" some two new upper
quotation signs - the clasical asci
is simple one those are more like left and right
a„ba„b there is also one new down
probably there is also yet one byt i mislooked it it seems

a‘b''a’b‘‘'’'’

same thing with this single quotation
two new ones

a´b 1`1´ a`s´s´dkm΄x´΄s ΄
brother of this little one that shares key with tilda, nice

there are more things liek that but
those are confusing so i skip it

there is yet third one (?) something
like those two but stright -
all are somewhat like singe quitation but very thin

a¯‾_‾_‾b¯1 ¯232a‾b
a ‾b_

upper underscore - thats real nice
mistake it is not in old asci imo

a‗ba‗b____‗

double underscore, also real nice

a·b·····

middle dot - terribly nice and good loking

a∙ba∙∙b

big middle dot very nice

a─b---─-─ ─────────-----

something like longer minus sign
- could be used to draw line

a,,b

something like , but smaller

a¨b¨¨a…ba…b

two up dots and 3 bot dots
(thos bot especially nice)

a⁄b//⁄⁄

something like slash but a bit
bigger and a bit more vertical

a■b a▬b a▲ba►ba▼ba◄b

rectangle queare and 4 triangles
nice

a◊ba○b☼☼a♦ a◘ba◙ba☺ba☻ba☼ba♀ba♂b
a♠ba♣ba♥ba♦ba♪ba♫b

also nice, this circle is good
rhombus or how it is called also good
a░b░░░▓▓▓▓▒▒░░░░
nice for drawing

a˙ba˙ba˚ba˚b

degree sign and something liek upper dot or small degre, im not sure

a˜b~ something liek small upper tilda

a⌂b⌂⌂⌂

home symbol?

a⌐b

nice geometrucal it is goiod loking imo maybe better than arrow (liek could
be used for assigment etc)


a√b
root symbol - could be nice

a=√a*a+b*b

a∞b
infinity?

a∟b
nice geometrical

a∩b
nice


a∫b - calculus, nice

a∆ba∂ba∏ba∑b
some greek ones i skipped most but
probably they should be used aside
normal abc like ∆b=b2-b1 etc

a‰b

dont know what it is but may be ok


a†ba‡b
also dont know but looks ok

a‼b

double ! very good
a¡b this one turn aroud, lookin good

a¦b

very nice

i ommited some but from those
mentioned a lot are very nice

though still i will probably
feel i need some i dont get
(liek i would have other -+
that would have like bigger priority
