Unicode Decoration
FormattingUse of unicode arrows (->), smart/curly quotes, and other special characters that can't be easily typed on a standard keyboard. Real writers typing in a text editor produce straight quotes and -> or =>. Claude in particular loves the -> arrow.
Examples
“Input → Processing → Output”
“This leads to better outcomes → which means higher engagement”
““Smart quotes” instead of straight "quotes" that you’d actually type”
