You have (almost) the full range of unicode at your disposal - have you considered that maybe މ is more meaningful variable name?

- yjftsjthsd-h 10y agoThat's a bit harder to type.
- ci5er 10y agoNot if you have a Thaana keyboard!
- kps 10y agoMixing RTL and LTR is a nuisance, though; that's why ℵ is a good variable name and א is not.
- ci5er 10y ago"consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds", said a well known and frequently quoted man[0]. I can't speak to the pros and cons of ℵ-vs-א, but in other geographies I have found mixing RTL and LTR to be a real PITA. Especially if one is touch-typing and not eyeballing the screen from time-to-time. Of course, before Unicode, we got to tell developers: "Just use ASCII for variable names. That's why God gave us 127 keys." [0] Some call him arrogant. Others say that I intentionally truncated the quote for my own evil purposes. Who is to judge?
