My apologies. You are of course absolutely right.

I'm curious to know how easy it is for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and
Indian programmers to use *ASCII* characters. I have no idea in
practice whether the current basically entirely-ASCII nature of
programming languages is as much a problem for them as I imagine
Unicode characters would be for me. I really hope it isn't...
