(Keywords: js1.5)

ECMAScript Edition 3 section 7.1 requires JavaScript to ignore format-control characters (Unicode category Cf) that occur in the program source. Our engine generates syntax errors for them: js> eval("2\u200E4") 7: SyntaxError: illegal character: 7: 24 7: .^ The correct answer here is 24.
