Maybe I did it because less keystrokes?
I haven't checked any other non-ASCII type stuff like square root.

BTW, PrimeComm displays the same code PROPERLY.
i.e. with the little right arrow.

It's a case of "If I only knew then what I know now".
Why can't things just...work?
I'm so tired of this.

It's a matter of font settings.
Hints for Notepad++ font settings:
Go to: Menu, Settings, 'Style configurator'
Change the settings for
'Style' = Global override, Default Style,
Font Style:
from "Courier New" (or whatever is set)
to "DejaVu Sans Mono"
and you get your arrows back.

It is also a good practice to set 'Encoding' to UTF-8 (per file).

Plain text files should be named .txt. .hpprgm files are not plain text files!
(try to open .hpprgm-files from backup, and you will see additional non-printing characters).
