Has there been any progress on this since 2015? I'm maintaining a project that
uses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) internally. My life would be
much easier if I could use identifiers like aʊ or dʒ. Both are valid C++
identifiers supported by Clang, Xcode and Visual Studio, but not supported by
GCC.
My knowledge of compilers is very limited, so I'm afraid I can't be of
practical help. But I'd like to point out that there is indeed demand for this
feature -- see for example this StackOverflow question:
