It doesn't have to be unique, as demonstrated by several decades of
experience with << and >>.
In my opinion, legibility and ease of typing are more important than
uniqueness. << and >> are easier to type and more visually suggestive
than, say, @< and @>.
C and C++ reuse operator symbols because they're chosen from the ASCII
punctuation characters, and there are only so many of them. (Requiring
non-ASCII characters for some operators would be inconvenient; I don't
have them on my keyboard.)
Note that operators don't have to consist of punctuation symbols (see
sizeof, new, etc.). An alternative might have been to introduce "in"
and "out" operators in place of ">> and "<<". But I wouldn't suggest
making such a change now.
