Oops, attached is the fixed version.  I added "test" mapping to explain
how we can program candidate groups, and how a user choose a target
character.

If you type "/tt", "ABCDEFGH" is shown as the first candidate group.
Please try to type ↑,↓,→,←, to see how a user can navigate to select
a target character.  C-p, C-n, C-f, C-b works the same way respectively.

That's a great example! 👏​

 

Once you understand that mechanism, could you please suggest a code for
left arrows, right arrows, and heart symbols?  I think it is better to
provide more characters for each of those categories; e.g. ⇒、⇐, 💔.

Great idea!
Suggesting more documentation and symbols ​here: lsymbol.mim

Now that this technique enables us to easily use ​a lot more symbols, I look forwards to adding more common symbol-classes in subsequent commits.
