      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!");
