Do ldpl identifiers (or sentence words) support uf8?

[arielf212]

This is more of a question than an issue, but does ldpl support utf8 or is it an ascii-only language?

Hi there! Yes, they should without a problem. I will check to make sure though...

data:
המבורגר is number
バーガー is number

procedure:
store 20 in המבורגר
store 30 in バーガー
display המבורגר " + " バーガー " = " 
add バーガー and המבורגר in המבורגר
display המבורגר "!" lf

Works perfectly!

I should have probably asked this question a bit differently: is an alternative implementation of ldpl expected to accept case insensitive utf8 identifiers?

The problem is not specifically the utf8 identifiers, but the fact that lower/upper casing utf8 is kinda hard (or, at least, much harder than ascii).

Ahh, I get it. You know, this is something that never crossed my mind 🤔 We are using the http:https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cctype/toupper/ function to transform the source code to uppercase, so I don't believe ááá is the same variable as ÁÁÁ. So I guess no, that's not expected. I should add that to the documentation, thank you!

I will be closing this issue now. Feel free to reopen it if you need.
