However, for LyX the use of the Classic Mac OS and macOS notation (while not
plainly wrong) is unfortunate, because the U+2303 ⌃ UP ARROWHEAD character
is not supported by 8-bit LaTeX.

I wonder how this problem could have gone unnoticed into the 2.3 release
despite it should have broken Kornels export tests for all "Tutiorial.lyx"
documents.

I am glad you fixed the non-compilability of the Tutorial (and all
documents using the info-inset for Ctrl-... keybindings).


Thanks
