I accidently run into this today where I noticed that while I saved a data frame as df, I could call it with the equivalent greek letters. (I forgot I set my keyboard to Greek).
After investigating a bit, I couldn't see why this works. At first I thought that it worked say for greek equivalent of english. Like b & β or a & α or d & δ but not for letters with no greek equivalent like j. However this happened,
Any idea what is happening here?
