Лигатура — это символ в типографике, образованный слиянием двух (или более) других символов. Например, в скандинавских языках есть символ Æ — он хранится и печатается как один символ, неразрывно, но, очевидно, образован совмещением букв A и E.
В программировании тоже есть лигатуры. Если у вас мощная среда разработки и подходящий шрифт, то вы, как правило, можете их включить. И тогда ваш текстовый редактор будет отображать некоторые парные и тройные символы, как один. Например, последовательность -> может превратиться в символ →. Это нужно только для отображения, на содержимое настоящего текстового файла настройка никак не влияет, потому что компилятор или интерпретатор языка ждёт именно ->.
Я категорический сторонник использования лигатур в IDE. Если вы никогда не пробовали, рекомендую включить и поработать с ними несколько дней, а может даже недель. Посмотрите на две конструкции ниже. Символы => и <= очень похожи между собой визуально, но при этом их суть принципиально разная. Включение лигатур позволяет отразить эту суть и избежать некоторых возможных ошибок (например, путаницу между >= и =>).

🇬🇧The Psychological Attack on the UK, Part 2 | UKColumn - 2021
If Bezmenov had been correct in just one or two of his predictions, then we might assume that coincidence was at work. In reality, he was correct in all of his predictions. Common sense therefore tells us that the plan he describes must be both real and effective. And that plan ultimately leads from 'Demoralisation' to 'Destabilisation', to 'Crisis' (Chaos) and then 'Normalisation' — so-called 'peace' (actually pacification) under a socialist/communist dictatorship of global scale.
In Part 2 as we tackle the key subversively targeted area of Security (covering the intelligence community, police and military), but first we address the demoralising and destructive plans detailed for Law and Order and Social Relations.
To recap, the following descriptive paragraph sets out the key warning within Story's highly detailed and meticulously researched book:

For the first time in a protest policing operation in the UK, live AI facial recognition will be used alongside aerial surveillance employing helicopters and drones, as well as armoured vehicles and large-scale specialist policing units deployed across the capital. Around 4.000 officers will be involved in the operation, with reinforcements from forces across England and Wales, as authorities reportedly prepare for "significant public order risks" across multiple protest routes.
