One of my customers simply has a policy saying that all identifiers have to be in English (the policy doesn't say if it should be American English or proper English), and thus neatly works around the problem. This reminds me tha Jean-Pierre Rosen had a very entertaining tutorial on glyphs, graphemes, alphabets, characters, character sets, encodings, etc. at Ada-Europe 2017 in Vienna. We learnt all kinds of stuff we really don't want to know and worry about. ;-) Greetings, Jacob -- "Even god needs a bus to get there."
