Marco,
His libraries have definitely been inspirational. Glad it's working for
you!
Best,
Elliott

Hi Elliot
yes I am familiar with Saint Edi's (always blessed be his
parentheses!) CL-UNICODE.
After a few wrong turns it appears that the incantation you need in
Lispworks to make it swallow Unicode names is
(eval-when (:load-toplevel :compile-toplevel :execute)
(cl-unicode:enable-alternative-character-syntax)
(setf cl-unicode:*try-lisp-names-p* t)
)
You need both, otherwise you get funny errors like #\= is not a character.
Unicode names with spaces can be read using an underscore in their place.

Hi Marco, SMH, and the rest of the list,
I assume you are familiar with Edi Weitz's CL-UNICODE:
"It also provides the ability to replace the standard syntax
for reading Lisp characters with one that is Unicode-aware and is
used to enhance CL-PPCRE with Unicode properties"
http://edicl.github.io/cl-unicode/#enable-alternative-character-syntax
I would hope that it would allow for some level of portable code.
Cheers,
Elliott

Hello parenthetical crowd
Is there a consensus about how to "name" Unicode characters, or
every implementation does whatever it likes (thus breaking
otherwise perfectly portable code)?
Cf., #\INFINITY
All the best

PS Do not even think to use the "hey, it is an
implementation-dependent thing" argument!
