:Yeah, that is not good at all. It means that the source code needs conversion to be usable on ascii based platforms. Maybe we will need a unidecoder for such sources. That is probably a future task. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 20:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
::The change was made to Perl 6 code, and it is my understanding that that's correct code for that language. Usage of Unicode glyphs in Perl 6 code is pretty normal. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 21:58, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying that it is incorrect. However, I do not think that it is a good idea to use non ascii characters in source code, because this will not look good on some terminals, and printed listings may have wrong glyphs or these characters may be omitted completely from the printout.

::All Perl 6 compilers are required to understand Unicode. It might mean that the code isn't editable in ASCII-only editors... but we don't intend to tie ourselves to ancient editors. --[[User:Pmichaud|Pmichaud]] 22:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
