But we can't even rely on that. I can imagine a couple of Native encodings around that fiddle with ASCII (for example, JIS has a Yen sign in place of the backslash, I believe). Even if we ignore language- specific variants of ISO 646; I don't know whether they're still in use anywhere, but if they are, then { | } [ \ ] ~ are all out, and probably a couple of others, too (@?).
