		Symbiote on June 27, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Sir, Please Step Away from the ASR-33 (2010) Why not go all the way, and write ω₀ :-) I don't often write complicated formulae, but I do find it easier to use the original symbols if possible. Its one less thing to think about when comparing the source code with a mathematical description of the algorithm.

believe it or not but the ₀ (u2080) is not allowed in Python, it's not for a lack of trying :)

for some reason the entire Unicode "No" (Number, other) category is not included in the admissible character list for identifiers
