Is there a reason beancount can't support non A-Z characters as well or does that overly complicate the parser? I've always found it slightly strange that I can't use $, €, or ¥ as a currency. I wonder if any global exchanges use non A-Z ticker symbols or if everyone just follows ASCII to keep compatibility with the US. The wikipedia page doesn't have a lot detail but suggests non-Latin script exchanges often use numbers instead of letters for tickers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_symbol -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
