As I understand it, you can use any Unicode character other than those
needed by the notation, which as I understand it are ">, /, _, [, ], ", -".

I stand to be corrected, but that's the essence of a previous conversation
on the subject. Henrik apparently stuck in his file to those characters
that could be easily typed.

FWIW, My (as yet untested) Thagojian .sch file (in the making) contains
the UTF-8 characters for superscript w and h, combining acute, the "real"
versions of /@/, /N/, /S/ and /K/, as well as macroned vowels, dotless i,
and a final set of writing rules that provide output in the Thagojian
script, which needs a mixture of Latin, Greek, Coptic and Hebrew. Put it
this way: if the compiler doesn't like the full Unicode character set, I
may be upset enough to make it do so.
