 Functions can be formed by fully applying operators or as trains. Operators are left-associative, so that the left operand (`Operand`) can include operators but the right operand (`value | Func`) cannot. Trains are right-associative, but bind less tightly than operators. Assignment is not allowed in the top level of a train: it must be parenthesized.

 A header looks like a name for the thing being headed, or its application to inputs (possibly twice in the case of modifiers and compositions). As with assignment, it is restricted to a simple form with no extra parentheses. The full list syntax is allowed for arguments. As a special rule, a monadic function header specifically can omit the function when the argument is not just a name (as this would conflict with a value label). The following cases define only headers with arguments, which are assumed to be special cases; there can be any number of these. Headers without arguments can only refer to the general case—note that operands are not pattern matched—so there can be at most two of these kinds of headers, indicating the monadic and dyadic cases.

 BQN source code should be considered as a series of unicode code points, which we refer to as "characters". The separator between lines in a file is considered to be a single character, newline, even though some operating systems such as Windows typically represent it with a two-character CRLF sequence. Implementers should note that not all languages treat unicode code points as atomic, as exposing the UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation instead is common. For a language such as JavaScript that uses UTF-16, the double-struck characters `𝕨𝕎𝕩𝕏𝕗𝔽𝕘𝔾` are represented as two 16-bit surrogate characters, but BQN treats them as a single unit.
 
-A BQN *character literal* consists of a single character between single quotes, such as `'a'`, and a *string literal* consists of any number of characters between double quotes, such as `""` or `"abc"`. Character and string literals take precedence with comments over other tokenization rules, so that `⍝` between quotes does not start a comment and whitespace between quotes is not removed, but a quote within a comment does not start a character literal. Almost any character can be included directly in a character or string literal without escaping. The only exception is the double quote character `"`, which must be written twice to include it in a string, as otherwise it would end the string instead. Character literals require no escaping at all, as the length is fixed. In particular, literals for the double and single quote characters are written `'''` and `'"'`, while length-1 strings containing these characters are `"'"` and `""""`.

 Identifiers and numeric literals share the same token formation rule. These tokens are formed from the *numeric characters* `¯∞π.0123456789` and *alphabetic characters* `_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ` and the oddball `𝕣`. Any sequence of these characters adjacent to each other forms a single token, which is a *numeric literal* if it begins with a numeric character and an *identifier* if it begins with an alphabetic character. Numeric literals are also subject to [numeric literal rules](literal.md), which specify which numeric literals are valid and which numbers they represent. If the token contains `𝕣` it must be either `𝕣`, `_𝕣`, or `_𝕣_` and is considered a special name (see below). As the value taken by this identifier can only be a modifier or composition, the uppercase character `ℝ` is not allowed.
