We should not give syntactic > roles to them. We should be improving the terminal then, rather than constraining everything to the lowest common denominator. Unicode exists for an important accessibility reason, even if some of it is frivolous (emoji). Limiting Emacs source code to English and ASCII will ultimately only limit the acceptibility of Emacs rather than improve it. For example, if someone contributes a mode it will normally be accepted as=E2=80=93is. But if they write the that mode using Japanese characters, w= ould we turn them away? I think that we should not. db48x
