Any Unicode character or combination of characters can be used for symbols in Perl 6.
<lang perl6>sub postfix:<𒋦>($n) { say "$n trilobites" }
Line 26:
{{out}}
<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.
