IDEs could convert "=?" to "≟". They do autocompletion all the time.

Now you're expecting all programmers to use IDEs...

(As a dinosaur, my favourite IDE is a sheet of a4 :-)

Well, then you should have no problem with mathematical symbols like ≤, ≥, and ≠. You are also avoiding the question of tabs vs. spaces, newline representation, and whether your program should end with a newline.

My first boss actually spent his first six months at the company without a computer, so he had no choice BUT to use A4.

(When typed in to the shiny new (actually, second hand) computer, when it arrived, his programs apparently compiled and ran without error ...)

No need for an IDE, even, just a terminal / graphical framework that supports font ligatures and a programmer-oriented font like Fira Code.
