<p>In Erlang/OTP R16B the syntax of Erlang tokens was extended to
- handle Unicode. To begin with the support is limited to
- strings, but Erlang/OTP 18 is expected to handle Unicode atoms
- as well. More about the usage of Unicode in Erlang source files
+ handle Unicode. The support is limited to
+ string literals and comments. Atoms, module names, and
+ function names are restricted to the ISO-Latin-1 range.
