Lexical elements
-
The sequence of Unicode code points in a source file is partitioned into contiguous subsequences called lexical elements. Formation of lexical elements begins with the first code point in the source file and proceeds in code point order.
-
At each step, the longest valid lexical element that can be formed from a prefix of the remaining code points is formed, even if this would result in a failure to form a later lexical element. Repeating this process shall convert the entire source file into lexical elements.
-
Valid lexical elements are:
