[erlang-questions] A proposal for Unicode variable and atom names in Erlang.

[Yurii Rashkovskii]

Also, consider this: there are characters that look the same but encoded 
differently. We don't need to go far: the colon character. Lets suppose 
Erlang's "native" colon is U+003A. Now, there is at least three characters 
that look very similar: U+A789, U+2236, U+05C3. Now you can produce a code 
that will confuse the hell out of you. Which colon is the right colon?
