WTF is this? The character is correctly called
"LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS". There is no non-ASCII character
in this description. Of course, if I translated the Unicode mapping to
Polish, there would be an even larger number of non-ASCII letters - but
what good would that be for an IT standard, if the identifiers were
written in different languages?
