-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://www.digitalmars.com/d/lex.html#identifier # Identifiers start with a letter, _, or universal alpha, and are followed # by any number of letters, _, digits, or universal alphas. Universal # alphas are as defined in ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E) Appendix D. (This is the # C99 Standard.) Why is D referencing "ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) Appendix D" for defining "universal alpha"? "ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) Appendix D" isn't listing "universal alpha". Sample: \u00B7 (MIDDLE DOT, Other_Punctuation) isn't an "universal alpha" but allowed by Appendix D in identifiers. "ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) Appendix D" itself is referencing "ISO/IEC TR 10176:1998" for the character data. I strongly suggest to drop the redirection via "Appendix D" and use "ISO/IEC TR 10176 (current)" instead of the dated version "ISO/IEC TR 10176:1998". The 1998 version didn't yet include quite a chunk of CJK and Math characters that can be found in the current version.
