Someone should verify that the character you want to use for a

phobos to prove this is kind of self-defeating, as I'm pretty
sure it would be in league with DMD if there is a bug.
UnicodeData.txt (a data file provided by the unicode organization
itself since version 1)
contains exactly the necessary properties (in an easy parsable
format), so we don't need to hard-code the list of allowed
identifier characters, but can instead use the latest version
provided by unicode (changing every year!). We only need to
define which properties a character need to be allowed in an
identifier.
