Heart doesn't work for me, but other symbols seem fine. I don't know why. I
also didn't need to quote them. Here is a REPL session from a
Rakudo 2016.01.1:
> sub Δ($x) { say "got $x" }
sub Δ ($x) { #`(Sub|106407520) ... }
> Δ(23)
got 23
> class Foo { method Δ($x) { say "method got $x" } }
> Foo.new.Δ(23)
method got 23
