If you are using a StrikeFont (i.e., Accu*), the proper glyph should  
still be there:

	Character value: 16r8F

If you are using a Balloon-rendered TrueType font, there never was a  
left-arrow character.

If you use a FreeType-rendered font, there should be a left-arrow at

	Character value: 16r2190

I'm not entirely sure but I think you can have your cake and eat it  
too, using Shout. IIRC it allows to display := as ← even though in  
the saved method it still uses :=.
