It might be dependant on localization and encoding in use. If $ or | are not a word character, 'é' (in french) or 'æ' or 'я' (in russian) or 'ά' (in greek) are, as used in words such as fédération, Αγορά, or Примечания.

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or character:
“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted; because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol, which both of us connect with the common sentiment or idea; and thus by communicating an impulse he can move the will.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
