Although this is true, one reason I suggested this is (as several

pointed out) this is only true at the beginning of the word after a

limited number of commands, and as far as I'm aware has no

significance at all anywhere else or in any other language on any OS.

Most of the other characters suggested can have specific meaning when

inside a word.
Also, the visual effect of the character looks much more meaningful

than the only other 'safe' character I can think of... the underscore.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
