You can use any kind of (L)etter, but not (S)ymbols:
>>> list(map(unicodedata.category, "蟒蠎"))
['Lo', 'Lo']
>>> 蟒, 蠎 = "Chinese Python", "Japanese Python"
>>> list(map(unicodedata.category, "∂∫"))
['Sm', 'Sm']
>>> ∂ = "Partial Differential"
File "<stdin>", line 1
∂ = "Partial Differential"
^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
>>> ∫ = "Integral"
File "<stdin>", line 1
∫ = "Integral"
^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
