    See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can’t force people to read it in this font.

      Of course you can. Instead of committing the code to a repository, you just take screenshots of the everything and commit that instead.

          And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

            Well, it’s not quite that bad, but it takes a special kind of person to send their very obviously visually impaired coworker screenshots instead of plaintext. And I know a few of them.

        all code is written down in physical loose leaf notebooks

            Oh, so that’s what those Python notebooks are that I’ve heard people talk about!

        And then maybe you could use something like #define in C to map them back to valid characters? Not sure if there’s a good way to do that in other higher level languages.

          You could always write your own program that runs before the compiler. Simple character replace for those unicodes to ascii

      Many editors can read config files from a file in the repository itself. And oftentimes it has the highest priority. Just gotta know the IDE of your target and they have to click “trust this project”.
