Thanks very much. That's really what I wanted to know.

I just wanted to know because I might try to implement a reader for a
program which has a repl, so that when I write /\, it might substitute
by unicode \land (in latex) for example. I guess this might be
possible but I'll have to look into it. Knowing about the possibility
of displaying the unicode chars would be the first step.
