I think the GP means character encodings.
So the intent here is to ask whether (for example) a foo defined in a ISO 8859-1 encoded file is overidden by a foo imported from a Windows-1256 encoded file.

Files are decoded and canonicalized as a unicode string. If the identifiers are the same after canonicalization, then yes they are equivalent. If they aren't, then they aren't.
- webmaven 5y agoAh, I misunderstood what you meant by "aren't unique". I would have phrased that as "names aren't treated differently", or something similar.
