It does work in ECL, too. Does not in ABCL.
Don’t have other impls handy at the moment to check.

Yep. "It works in SBCL". I think I wrote a rant about it on my blog some time ago.

I always thought these names were standardised within the Unicode standard, for example:
"LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH OGONEK” for Ų
The rest being a matter of porting these names to symbols, but it’s just replacing spaces with underscores in a CL character literal:
#\LATIN_CAPITAL_LETTER_U_WITH_OGONEK
[a]
PS. both characters work in sbcl, but neither in LispWorks, which I might be running a limited version in my OpusModus environment, though

Hello parenthetical crowd
Is there a consensus about how to "name" Unicode characters, or every implementation does whatever it likes (thus breaking otherwise perfectly portable code)?
Cf., #\INFINITY
All the best

PS Do not even think to use the "hey, it is an implementation-dependent thing" argument!
