        Rust does. But you get:

        error: unknown start of token: \u{37e}
         --> test.rs:2:30
          |
        2 |     println!("Hello, World!");
          |                              ^
          |
        help: Unicode character ';' (Greek Question Mark) looks like ';' (Semicolon), but it is not
          |
        2 |     println!("Hello, World!");
