| - Add Unicode support. Instead of using the ''char'' type, Java represents Unicode codepoints as an ''int''. So, you'll be iterating over an array of ''int''s instead of the characters of a string. Character literals can still be directly compared against ''int''s; our ''case'' statement should be nearly unchanged. Look at the Java 8 [[https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/CharSequence.html#codePoints()|string.codePoints() method]]. Add support for Unicode symbol variants like ''≜'', ''∈'', ''∧'', ''∨'', ''∃'', and ''∀''. Our code reads files assuming the UTF-8 encoding so that's already sorted. | - Add Unicode support.
