Personally, my favorite assignment symbol comes from APL: a single character
left arrow. The arrow really signifies what assignment is: placing the value
on the right into the reference on the left. Unfortunately, not many
character sets include arrows, and few languages have taken the APL approach
of defining their own character set. But this is the one area where APL is
arguably more readable than conventional languages.

Also, SNOBOL fans who still have "The SNOBOL Programming Language", Second
Edition (the green book), check out Sample Program 5, where a left arrow is
used for assignments throughout the program.
