Insert Unicode Symbols

This request diverges from the pure Markdown text perspective.

For a more visually appealing document, sometimes I like to use different symbols to organize my thoughts. In special, I like using certain arrows available in Unicode such as:

  • U+27F5 ⟵
  • U+27F6 ⟶
  • U+27F7 ⟷

I already use an extension that accomplishes this result in VS Code. You can see below a screenshot of the “favorites” screen for that extension. It displays the symbols I use most often.


Insert Unicode - VSCode Extension

Such implementation would be very handy for me.

Thanks!

I found a very useful plugin that provides a workaround resp. an implementation of entering unicode by searching for the “name” of the Unicode character.
