I don't know how'd you'd do it on you particular OS, certain, operating
system, editor, etc. But I very much doubt that's a key on your keyboard,
so you'd have to do something akin to this. Maybe you have an old APL
keyboard, but most people don't.

The reason everyone is "obsessing" about how someone would actually make
your symbol appear is that it won't happen magically by thinking it. So you
are proposing and huge hit to ergonomics for everyone for no discernable
benefit.

that’s nice ! it’s a real shame though, and a bit of a waste honestly, that

I'm more than happy to share my vim conceal config. There plugin comes with

I very much hope that will never happen. I'm 99% sure my hope will be
realized. I will never be able to use a keyboard with 100k keys on it...
Admittedly, I don't really understand Chinese character entry methods.
