The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff: jpluimers

Toon Krijthe posted an interesting question to SO.

Though 5 years old, I think it stilll is very valid one:

At my work, we have decided to stay with the ANSI characters for identifiers. Is there anybody out there using unicode identifiers and what are the experiences?

For all projects I work on (in various Languages like  English, German, Dutch or other), I stick to ASCII characters (not even ANSI) for:

• file names
• identifiers

I also try to abstract the non-ASCII strings into places where I am sure that the encoding is preserved (for text files, I prefer UTF-8), or where these characters are properly escaped.

What is your take on this?
