Check out 3.3.5 Identifier Tokens for strict definition, particularly simplified-Chinese-identifier might be of interest.

Basicly codepage-identifier there means anything in &H80 to &HFF char range (so called extended ASCII) is treated for the purposes of identifiers as a letter too. E.g. my cyrillic letters are there too although I would have to be insane to use cyrillic var-names :-))
