Description
As you can see, it is not possible to use `¬` symbol as an alias. This symbol is used commonly for negation, it is a bit surprising that I cannot use it as an alias.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the alias declaration with the `¬` symbol and locate the parser or identifier-validation entry point for aliases. Check how other Unicode symbols are handled and add a regression test if the repository has coverage for aliases. Done means `¬` can be used as an alias without breaking existing alias parsing.
