Description

Elixir maps are specified via %{ } brackets. Having a ligature for the start of a map would be nice -- maybe something that looks similar to ÷{ but with circles instead of dots, and the crossbar tying into the middle of the left brace? That's really it, not sure what else to say. Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the %{ } Elixir map syntax and the requested ÷{-like visual treatment described in the issue. Determine how the circles and crossbar should connect to the left brace; done means the new ligature is implemented and visually matches an agreed design.
