Using a single assignment sign instead of < and -

Hi, I just found a YT video on R that used a real arrow sign instead of <-

It made me curious so I am sharing it here to know if anyone else is aware of that!

Are you sure it's a true arrow? Few fonts with ligature support can show <- as an arrow symbol.

You can do it by installing a special font for programming, for instance, JetBrainsMono, FiraCode, etc.
You can download and install this font from the following link:
