WATs are everywhere, and (I'm not trying to pick on one language here), I find this SO question to be intruiging:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/58340585/7270649 Joseph (and Ralph): thanks for starting off this conversation! Fernando and Vadim: amazed at your code! Andy: good questions always welcome! Daniel: Thank you for your confirmation on EVAL. Also, I tried parsing the ATOM SYMBOL character to look at classification, and this is the best I could do (in the Raku REPL): > say "⚛".uniprop So > dd "⚛".comb>>.uniprop ("So",) Nil > say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}" ⚛ > say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}".uniprop So > say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}".uniprop('Alphabetic') False HTH, Bill. PS. Cannot sent this email in 'plain text' mode as ATOM SYMBOL disappears.
