Description
From manual page: https://php.net/language.constants
I think the note concerning the possible names of constants is incorrect.
Note: For our purposes here, a letter is a-z, A-Z, and the ASCII characters from 128 through 255 (0x80-0xff).
As fair as my knowledge goes, the x80-xFF is not ASCII/UTF code points, but applies to any bytes from 10000000 to 11111111. AT least that is how it works with variables and other names. I also tested it and emojis as names work fine.
