I’d be quite happy with Bert’s suggesion for using U+2191 for return as long as it was entered with something decently simple like shift-^ or at *very* worst ctl-shift-^. Err, without the dot. And without the 'dot Err', too.

Well, given that (AFAIK at least) we don't properly support Unicode in
our own IDEs, I'd say ixnay on the U+2191, until that happy day we
_do_ support Unicode properly in all our tools. Oh, and of course we
need a proper input means (and it needs to be trivially findable), as
you point out.
