Any Unicode character or combination of characters can be used for symbols in Perl 6. Here's some counting rods and some cuneiform: |

<lang perl6>sub postfix:<𒋦>($n) { say "$n trilobites" } |
<lang perl6>sub postfix:<𒋦>($n) { say "$n trilobites" } |

{{out}} |

<pre>8 trilobites</pre> |
<pre>8 trilobites</pre> |

Of course, as in other languages, most of the characters you'll typically see in names are going to be alphanumerics from ASCII (or maybe Unicode), but that's a convention, not a limitation, due to the syntactic category notation demonstrated above, which can introduce any sequence of characters as a term or operator. |
