This wouldn't work

VSCode will add a yellow box around the character and tell you it's an uncommon glyph.

To note, this came about because it could be valid code and it's a security risk from copy/pasting malicious code. See:
Why, of all possible languages, would you suggest this for Javascript where semicolons are not mandatory
Maybe if you're "coding" in notepad
Meanwhile in VS Code: hey, I see this Unicode symbol that's confused for this expected symbol, would you like to replace it?
