I am very much against unicode operators. I can see a huge amount of problems this will generate, for little gain.
I actually basically like PEP 225, although I find @*, @+, etc more readable, and to provide the right visual emphasis. (Rather than ~*, ~+, etc.) Additionally, I do not think Unicode addresses the problem central to the PEP, as there is as far as I know no standard symbolic distinction between, say, elementwise multiplication and matrix multiplication. So I think the PEP is basically needed (perhaps with @ instead of ~). That said, what kind of problems do you have in mind?
