One thing that jumps out when you start watching Francesc Campoy’s youtube series, JustForFunc, is his magical font that converts things like != to ≠and <- to ←.

I finally found a comment in one of the posts that points to the magic font.

I also found the instructions for fixing the settings in VS Code to use the new font. (Installing the font follows standard font installation practices, which, on a mac, is double-click on the .ttf file(s) and click “install”.)

"editor.fontFamily": "'Fira Code'",
"editor.fontSize": 14,
"editor.fontLigatures": true

Don’t forget to add the third line to enable the ligatures. :)
