From poking around the Discourse a little, it seems as though some Unicode characters are supported and some are not: e. g. [Rationale behind excluding some unicode characters from identifiers - #11 by t-bltg](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/rationale-behind-excluding-some-unicode-characters-from-identifiers/95509/11)

But that doesn’t seem to explain the issue I found with `\Vert` which does TAB-complete: c. f. [Unknown Unicode Characters · Issue #546 · JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl/issues/546)
