Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Not all emoji are valid Swift characters

Steps to Reproduce:
Several of the question mark and exclamation emoji are not valid. Also, there is no emoji for a duck. How can I explain WAT without a duck?

Expected Results:
I was writing a humorous Swift program and attempted to use emoji ?! as a variable name. I expected it to be allowed

Actual Results:
Swift interpreted it other than as a character in a name

Regression:
Most other emoji characters work
