The Rust community is considering adding non-ascii identifiers, which follow UAX #31 (XID_Start XID_Continue*, with tweaks). The proposal also asks for identifiers to be treated as equivalent under NFKC.
So, in this language, if one defines a projection function 𝜋 and the usual constant π, what is 𝜋(π) supposed to mean? - Just curious.




In a language where one writes ASCII "pi" instead, what is pi(pi) supposed to mean?
