Numbers may be written with Devanagari digits ०-९.

Identifiers may not contain the zero-width joiner or non-joiner (U+200D, U+200C), which some keyboards insert in conjoined forms such as र्‍य. Names are also compared code point by code point, so two names that look identical but are typed with different code point sequences are different names.
