Yeah I agree with you unicode was added for better readability of code. My question is can I write something like this

Rust identifier grammar: Identifiers - The Rust Reference

which means that an identifier must start with a member of the Unicode lexical class XID_START and may be followed by members of Unicode lexical class XID_CONTINUE. Those are summarized here: UAX #31: Unicode Identifiers and Syntax

Go does similarly. It restricts an identifier to start with _ or a Unicode letter class followed by _, Unicode letters, or Unicode digits. The Go Programming Language Specification - The Go Programming Language

Julia is more lenient about which classes may be within identifiers Variables · The Julia Language. Your code apparently uses an integral sign as a function name, but the integral symbol is in the Unicode math symbols class. You couldn’t do that in Rust or Go, or probably most any other language that supports Unicode in identifiers.
