this is also true for other unicode code points, for instance I have a function decl which looks like

public func 𝄞(@PitchBuilder _ makeAbsolutePitches: () -> [Pitch]) -> Track {
    Track(makeAbsolutePitches())
}

it doesn't work if you use

``𝄞(_:)``

docc will complain

/Users/sevki/src/Beato/Sources/Beato/Documentation.docc/Documentation.md:7:45: warning: Link destination '𝄞(_:)' is not a valid URL

which is a bit hand wavy, cause it can resolve that name to https://beato.sevki.dev/documentation/beato/_(_:) when it's enumerating functions.

TD;DR

Thanks for pointing this out @sevki! I believe this is an unrelated issue. @d-ronnqvist I believe you investigated something like this in the past?

Yes, the (unrelated) issue with unicode code points in symbol links is resolved on the 5.9 branch (which is included in the Xcode 15 betas).

@franklinsch @d-ronnqvist I would love to work on this. Can you please give me some first pointers on where to look so I can try and fix the bug?

@franklinsch @d-ronnqvist Actually I decided to give it a go! Please let me know what you think: #1012

@agisilaos I'm happy to hear that you want to work on this. I didn't have time to provide any first pointers beforehand, but I tried to give some suggestions about where to start in #1012 (review). Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

@d-ronnqvist Thank you so much. I will take a look and fix all the issues you mentioned. Appreciate the thorough review.
