Discretionary Ligatures
The discretionary ligature feature creates real arrows when you type the combination -> (right arrow), <- (left arrow), -^ (up arrow), ^- (down arrow), <^- (left up arrow), -^> (right up arrow), -^< (right down arrow) and >^- (left down arrow). By typing multiple hyphen you can create long right or left arrows. Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications.
