What about having J names allow UTF8 characters instead of being limited to ASCII characters? I can see one problem with that is that many UTF8 characters look the same. This could cause confusion when two names look identical on the screen but are unique UTF8 codes. But it seems it would be easy to change the J interpreter to accept UTF8 characters for names.
