Entering e.g.
é {}
in direct input mode at
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_input
results in the error message
Parse Error Lexical error at line 1, column 1. Encountered: "?" (63), after
: ""
As far as I can see, "é" conforms to CSS identifier syntax and should be
accepted. If rejected, it should not be rejected as if a question mark "?"
had been entered.
I have tested various combinations, and it seems as if the W3C CSS Validator
does not accept non-Ascii letters in identifiers in general. I suspect this
is a recent problem. People have probably used the validator on stylesheets
with such identifiers, but I have not seen complaints about the issue until
very recently (and cannot find anything relevant to this in the archives -
searched with the word "lexical").
