Question Bash alias: issue with character

Hi: I'd like to set 'alias ¬='&&' but it keeps being mis-intepreted:

% echo rg ¬ echo rh
rg ¬ echo rh

There must be a solution!!

I don't think so - according to `man bash` aliases work on commands, where && is an operator.

good point...still, any effective solution (alias) or otherwise would suffice. I like configurability

Yeah - configurability is a good thing. I admit I'm having trouble thinking around this one though, I couldn't create a script or a function with a name of '&&'.
