Dear Monks,

The following code works as expected

use v6;

my $name = "Joe";
say "Hello $name";

--output:--
Hello Joe

[download]

However, the following code produces an error:

use v6;

my $name = "Joe";
say "Hello -->$name<--";

--output:--
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /Users/7stud/raku_programs/d.raku
Unable to parse quote-words subscript; couldn't find '>' (correspondin
+g '<' was at line 4)
at /Users/7stud/raku_programs/d.raku:12
------> <BOL>&#9167;<EOL>
 expecting any of:
        postfix

Obviously, there are some characters that cannot appear in a string, but I looked around and I couldn't find any information about that.

Also, in the error message what does the following mean:

------> <BOL>⏏<EOL>

In reply to Raku: problem with say() function by 7stud
