The ultimate expression of this trend is, of course, the smartphone, where you have no physical keyboard at all. Even if people don't do their for-real development on their smartphone, they will insist on replying to emails, messages, Stackoverflow questions etc on them, and they won't necessarily have [insert name of app here]. So unless the symbol shows up on the smartphone's native keyboard emulator people won't be able to use it at least part of the time. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/4PS3SCZBEIWT4CJEA3PTJDG5YHXZRTLT/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
