What are "connecting characters" in Java identifiers?
Here is a list of connecting characters. These are characters used to connect words.

U+005F _ LOW LINEU+203F ‿ UNDERTIEU+2040 ⁀ CHARACTER TIEU+2054 ⁔ INVERTED UNDERTIEU+FE33 ︳ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL LOW LINEU+FE34 ︴ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL WAVY LOW LINEU+FE4D ﹍ DASHED LOW LINEU+FE4E ﹎ CENTRELINE LOW LINEU+FE4F ﹏ WAVY LOW LINEU+FF3F _ FULLWIDTH LOW LINE
This compiles on Java 7.
int _, ‿, ⁀, ⁔, ︳, ︴, ﹍, ﹎, ﹏, _;
An example. In this case tp
is the name of a column and the value for a given row.
Column<Double> ︴tp︴ = table.getColumn("tp", double.class);double tp = row.getDouble(︴tp︴);
The following
for (int i = Character.MIN_CODE_POINT; i <= Character.MAX_CODE_POINT; i++) if (Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(i) && !Character.isAlphabetic(i)) System.out.print((char) i + " ");}
prints
$ _ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ؋ ৲ ৳ ৻ ૱ ௹ ฿ ៛ ‿ ⁀ ⁔ ₠ ₡ ₢ ₣ ₤ ₥ ₦ ₧ ₨ ₩ ₪ ₫ € ₭ ₮ ₯ ₰ ₱ ₲ ₳ ₴ ₵ ₶ ₷ ₸ ₹ ꠸ ﷼ ︳ ︴ ﹍ ﹎ ﹏ ﹩ $ _ ¢ £ ¥ ₩
iterate through the whole 65k chars and ask Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(c)
.The answer is : "undertie" decimal 8255
The definitive specification of a legal Java identifier can be found in the Java Language Specification.
