PCs have “alt codes”, which is a combo of alt+numbers to represent some (most?) Unicode characters. I believe the German characters are in the alt+0250 (+-10) z

- vbezhenar 8y agoI don't think that it's feasible to type source code this way.
- ubernostrum 8y agoI think it's useful, if you feel it's a burden to have to interoperate with a codebase using non-ASCII identifiers, to consider how literally every person in the world whose native language is non-ASCII must have felt being forced to use it for programming. Let people who have to interoperate with multilingual colleagues settle on conventions for doing so. Let people who don't use their own language already.
