The hand with pointing finger that is used for comments,
is better visibile in the attached screenshot "vi-with-alto-arrows.png".

See screenshot for a better picture of those 'finger' and 'doubled up-arrow' symbols.

My guess is that those creative symbols are inventions of the font designer,
who designed the Alto Serif Smalltalk-72 font.

I don't think they relate to actual old Xerox Smalltalk systems,
but it could be, I don't know.

For the left-arrow (_) and up-arrow (^) this is on the other hand well documented.
