I think they exclude some unicode characters from being use in identifiers. At least last I tried it wouldn't allow me to use an emoji as a variable name.

Another guy just posted emojis in their code in the comments no idea if it actually works

That code was C++ or something like that. Not GDScript.

I tested this on Godot 4.2.1. You can write identifiers using a different writing system other than latin and you are allowed to have emojis in strings, but you aren't allowed to use emojis in identifiers.

Ah I’m unfamiliar with most languages I just use python and random others for personal projects

Coding must be a nightmare if you’re choosing programming languages at random 😱

But you must also be learning quite a lot.

I’m not choosing at random lol that would be crazy but I mostly use python and have been teaching myself go and some rust

There's probably a rule that requires variables to start with a letter or underscore. Emoji are nor marked as letters. Something like _👍 will probably work.
