No, the letters are same, A and a is the same letter. Glyphs might be
different, but why should that influence the program semantics? What about
typefaces, colors, thickness, slant, ligatures, stamping?

It is a question of alphabet. Ada 83 was based on Latin alphabet. K&R C was
not.

Yep. I propose to introduce one Unicode code position for each correct
program. That would eliminate any need in any programming languages,
compilers, and programmers... (:-))
