Re: "The atomic operators have U+269B ATOM SYMBOL incorporated into them. Their ASCII equivalents are ordinary subroutines, not operators". Obviously."

Except for the short-circuiting operators (such as || and &&) and the assignment operator, all operators in Raku are just subs with a special name. Adding your own operator to the language is as simple as adding a subroutine, e.g.:

    sub prefix:<√>($value) { sqrt($value) }
    say √9;   # 3
