Very good idea. Is the '×' in '× Visit London' available in other keyboard layouts? It is not available in American (en-US) layout, but it is available in Persian (fa-IR) layout, on GNU/Linux.

well, I think there should be a discussion on those markups. if it's not in common keyboard layouts then something else should be chosen IMO.
I certainly agree with the goal, but a different approach may be preferable. Tokens should be configurable. The spec could thus define a standard config file in which the needed tokens can be assigned. If not present, a particular token defaults to the existing specification value. Above all, this lets the user select something meaningful to them.
@pablito1755 I like the direction of where you're going with this. Default to x
but allow overrides in a configuration file.
For priority, numbers are not language agnostic. 1 is One in English ١ is One in Arabic They are not the same Unicode endpoints

Most markups in todo.txt files (priority
(A)(B)
andDate t:, due:
) depends on Latin characters so a user of other alphabets like Arabic, Russian, Chinese would have to switch keyboard to write the markup. It would be much easier for a user to write todo.txt tasks in his language letters without having to use Latin characters.My thought is that many symbols that are available on every keyboard could be used like
# & ^ +__()*&&{} []
and numbers could be used for priorities.example for due: you can use:
For completed tasks:
For priorities:
