Inroduction

Python 3 Supports Non-ASCII Identifiers as per PEP 3131. But this support is incomplete for certain languages where special characters such as ZWJ, ZWNJ are used extensively. Example for such languages are Malayalam, Kannada, Sinhala, Farsi etc.

Unicode standard on Using ZWJ/ZWNJ etc in Identifiers

ZWJ and ZWNJ are format control characters and unicode defines the usage of these characters in identifiers in TR31 in section 2.3 Layout and Format Control Characters

Unicode recommends allowing usage of ZWJ/ZWNJ or "the Join_Control characters" in Identifiers limited to 3 contexts.
