Now write code with it
I dare you
<⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

Do the characters even have morse code assigned to them?

I found those:

Underscore		. . _ _ . _
Addition		. _ . _ .
Subtraction		_ . . . . _ 
Multiplication		_ . . _
Division		_ _ _ . . .
Equal			_ . . . _
Right Parenthesis	_ . _ _ . _
Left Parenthesis	_ . _ _ .

But this isn't enough for programming, square and curly brackets, carets, ampersand, pipe, tilda... I think it's gonna be pretty challenging

Please delete the .m. from the Wikipedia link so it's correct for desktop users.

What if desktop users delete it themselves, if they don't like it?

The default link redirects for mobile automatically, it doesn't work the other way around.

Ok, that's fair point, but it still isn't other people's job to serve you links just how you like them.

Can't you extend it by adding extra bits? Though typing them would be problematic as the length will be growing too.

It would be a blow to render this typing method slightly slower, definitely a deal breaker 😏

COW (a moo themed brainfuck variant) would work.
