James: > Inside a program, for instance... This is *very* faulty logic. Variable names exist in source code only, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the data actually processed. You're also referring to an assigned character in your example, not a PUA codepoint. ... A software product could assign every single PUA codepoint to mean some kind of formatting instruction, and insert these into the text like markup. In that case, a user's PUA characters will be re-interpreted by that software as formatting instructions. Is that product conformant? Yes. Is it useful? Not for that user.
