I guess J can support both ascii and APL glyph as primitives by modifying the c source code for monad ;: and map both ascii and APL glyph to the same internal representation token for the primitives.
Since J is script-based, J itself does not need to concern how APL character will be input or output because that will be the job of terminal emulator or IME.
