APL does this:

That said, and as much as my idealism supports the above, I¡Çm against
this on practicality basis. First, Ruby strives to be encoding-agnostic,
which means the above should work for any file in any encoding that
covers these symbols. Second, I don¡Çt believe Ruby core code constructs
(as opposed to strings or even user-created classes and methods) should
be outside of low ASCII; I¡Çd even say that class name d is not very
portable and usable, and one should use Lodz instead (note that, in
theory at least, d is supported in 1.9, provided you use the same
encoding for the class definition and the files that use it).
