It's just so bewildering when on one hand lowercase superscript is missing exactly one letter for the full coverage, and at the same time Unicode has characters like "Grinning cat face with smiling eyes"(U+1F638). Just what I needed.
It's a bit disappointing because together with the integration in the REPL this feature in Julia works well enough to give a glimpse of the potential but when trying to experiment more it shows gaps that make it a bit of a trial-and-error situation. Better direct support in standardized encodings could make this much more usable and maybe not just in one specific language.
The standard already has enough formatting options to make smartphones crash by sending them a text message(as could be seen multiple times on both Android and iOS).
If you think the unicode committee made the right call, please explain why the decision to add smiling cat pictures and over 10 heart symbols was correct but not supporting everyday maths notation.
As Julia relies on Unicode for its neatly formatted variable names this is an annoying limitation that the developers can't even do much about.
Unicode has over 100k symbols, including about 3500 emoji. But a continuous set of 26 small letters, either in lowercase or uppercase(or both) is too much bloat apparently.
