JS: Allowed Characters in Identifier

Allowed characters in JavaScript identifiers

JavaScript identifiers (variable/function names) must:

• Begin with a Unicode Letter, or low line _, dollar sign $.
• Following characters must be Unicode Letter or Unicode digit or low line or dollar sign.

• Unicode Letter Character

Here is a example you can test:

/* α GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA codepoint 945, hexadecimal 3b1 */
const α = 4;
console.log(α === 4);

const ♥ = 3;

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

♥ BLACK HEART SUIT codepoint 9829, hexadecimal 2665 is not a letter
