Yet, that's what everyone else is doing, so at least it's a predictable (and convenient) kludge. >> In a monospace font, it should look obvious what's happening, since ⟹ will occupy three columns. > > Here it occupies only two. Do you have a font with ligatures that composes ==> into ⟹, taking only two characters? Most of the monospace fonts on my machine show ⇒ as one character and ⟹ as two — but the ones that have ligatures changing => into ⇒ and ==> into ⟹ all respect the widths of the characters they compose, so ⇒ is two characters wide and ⟹ is three characters wide. I don't think the width of ⟹ as a non-composed character is too relevant, since we won't break it up, right?
