AFAIK Fortress did not actually support non-ASCII symbols in the code. What the Fortress team did is have a display layer that was fed a list of symbols using ‘\BigSum’ style ASCII and then merely displayed a selected Unicode symbol in the editor.


Ah, thanks. It's been a while since I looked at the Fortress papers.
