    I think they exclude some unicode characters from being use in identifiers. At least last I tried it wouldn’t allow me to use an emoji as a variable name.

        That code was C++ or something like that. Not GDScript.

        I tested this on Godot 4.2.1. You can write identifiers using a different writing system other than latin and you are allowed to have emojis in strings, but you aren’t allowed to use emojis in identifiers.

          There’s probably a rule that requires variables to start with a letter or underscore. Emoji are nor marked as letters. Something like _👍 will probably work.

            Coding must be a nightmare if you’re choosing programming languages at random 😱

            But you must also be learning quite a lot.
