Lowden <jklowden at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The reference is to Table 10 in ISO/IEC 1989:2023, and the assertion is correct. I am not sure how to reduce Table 10 to a set of rules, given the complexity and many exceptions. ISO would do the world a service by expressing the same rules as regular expressions. (Good luck with that.) Nevertheless, more could be done to screen out invalid pictures. > note: U is nearly identical to N Meaning, U as defined by IBM? It's not in ISO.
