The most simple identifiers are those made out of ASCII letters:
Foo
Bar
Baz
However, they may also contain digits as long as they do not begin with a
digit:
Var1
Var2
Var10029384
Identifiers may be as long as you want:
ThisIsALongAndValidIdentifier
ThisIsAnEvenLongButStilCompletelyValidIdentifier
Moreover, they may have arbitrary underscores (`_`) in their names.
a_valid_identifier
another__0000__valid_identfier
_1
__2
___3
They may even be nothing more than underscores:
_
__
___
All identifiers starting with a `ID_Start` character are valid identifiers,
including `Other_ID_Start`:
℘rototype
llipsis
Likewise, the following code points using `Other_ID_Continue` are also valid:
α·β
ano·teleia
And, of course, the combination of `ID_Start` and `ID_Continue`:
alfa·beta
