in thread [Perl6] Perl 6 discoveries IV, hash access

For code points that are to be used more than once, that is a feasible solution. However, if you need arbitrary characters, that you don't know in advance, the situation is more difficult.

    Does Perl 6 need arbitrary unicode characters?

      It doesn't need any, technically. AFAIK, there are (sometimes ugly) plain-ASCII equivalents for everything. But if you've inherited some Perl6 where someone has gone nuts with Unicode, you're really going to want a Unicode-capable editor.

        That's the point, type Ascii equivalent and expand to unicode by using snippets.
