Almost 1% of contributions in nixpkgs already use the unicode "→" character instead of the two "->" ASCII characters to signal a version upgrade. The guide only mentions "->", which sometimes triggers discussions about the acceptable characters to use in commit messages, with often a reference to the current README.md. Some people prefer to use "→" because, depending on the font, it might have a more appealing visual aspect than "->" and look better aligned. Some others prefer to only write using the ASCII character set and will use "->", but nowadays everyone can display common unicode characters such as "→". Let us make everyone happy by indicating that both kind of arrows are acceptable.
