It’s a the right shift assignment operator so x >>= 4 right shifts x by 4 and assigns the result back to x. The code editor is displaying single double wide symbol (ligature) instead of the three character long operator >>=, I discovered today these are in fact well loved by some coders.
I totally thought because of how long the equals looked, it was multiple equals characters, not just >>= lol. That’s what got me confused. Don’t think these are things I’d personally use but each to their own preferences right xD

If someone likes it but doesn’t know where to find it, FiraCode does linea tires really good IMO
