That's true.
The RPG compiler is a bit odd (ok, it's very odd) in the way it handles
the variant @ # and $ characters for variable names. Rather than support
those glyphs, it supports characters with specific hex values. So for
some source file CCSIDs it supports variable names with Å, § ...
But that doesn't mean it has to handle all variant characters that way.
The weird handling of @ # and $ started with RPG/400, and a possibly
excessive zeal for compatibility with RPG/400 kept that same behaviour
for ILE RPG too.
