Out of curiosity, I've just tried creating a function named ⍳ (Unicode

What is the rule here- functions must be entirely ANSI or functions
must start with ANSI?
To my knowledge FPC does not support non-ascii identifiers ?
Only a-z, 0-9 and _ are allowed.
Yes, Michael is right. Only the ASCII characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ are
allowed. There was no change in FPC what identifiers it understands.
I personally wouldn't mind if that stay ASCII...
I agree, I was only experimenting on a whim. I think possibly that error
message could be improved though, since by the time it was output it had
been translated to a "I don't know what this is" blob and even the
numeric representation was lost.
