uniqueidentifier - What are the experiences with using unicode in identifiers -
these days, more languages using unicode, thing. presents danger. in past there troubles distinguising between 1 , l , 0 , o. have complete new range of similar characters.
for example:
ì, î, ï, ı, ι, ί, ׀ ,أ ,آ, ỉ, ﺃ
with these, not difficult create hard find bugs.
at work, have decided stay ansi characters identifiers. there out there using unicode identifiers , experiences?
besides similar character bugs mention , technical issues might arise when using different editors (w/bom, wo/bom, different encodings in same file copy pasting problem when there characters cannot encoded in ascii , on), find it's not worth using unicode characters in identifiers. english has become lingua franca of development , should stick while writing code.
this find particularly true code may seen anywhere in world developer (open source, or code sold along product).
