Non-Ascii characters not supported by .net?

Question

Hi All,

When I added a class with non-Ascii caharacters in the class name, it removed the non-Ascii from class name and when added directly to class it complains of non-Ascii characters.

Are Non-ASCII characters not supported in class name and variable name?

Answer 1

You probably need to save the file with an encoding that supports the characters that you want to have in your class name:

• Click File -> Save as
• Click the little arrow by the save button, and select "Save with encoding..."

However, it feels like begging for trouble to have class names that requires an extended encoding (but it's only a feeling I get; don't have any experience with it, really).

Answer 2

Read section 9.4.2 from the ECMA Standard for C#

Answer 3

This compiles and runs for me

public class 嗨世界
{
    public 嗨世界() {}

    public void Run()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, Unicode world.");
        System.Console.WriteLine("type= {0}", this.GetType().Name.ToString());
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            new 嗨世界()
                .Run();
        }
        catch (System.Exception exc1)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", exc1.ToString());
        }
    }
}

ps: I have no idea what those characters mean.
