I'd argue it is worse that almost all languages can not be used to name things. A pain that many computer users in non-English speaking countries feel regularly. As a German I set all my devices to US English for this reason -although this causes other problems.
The apostrophe is really just related to shells and scripting and should be a bit easier to fix.
- praptak 14y agoI agree and disagree. If everything had unicode support, we'd still probably want to limit the codepoint set used for identifiers that are supposed to be unique. Lots of characters have visually indistinguishable glyphs ('x' could be cyrillic kha as well as plain old x) and this already causes problems - see homoglyph attacks.
