hi, the comment is not meant in /that/ way; rather APL used special symbols for representing functions/operations, i.e., it had its own non-ASCII character set (google for details) AFAIR, there was also a java programming puzzler with unicode in comments: since the unicode support is (was? probably there have been some changes since 1.4 footnote:1) beautifully added on top of the parser you can get seemingly strange errors from the parser/compiler. (please google for details, too) 1: please correct me if that is not true anymore, has been quite a while since i read the puzzlers...
