Julia uses [[UTF-8]] and [[LaTeX]] codes, allowing it to support common math symbols for many operators, such as ∈ for the <code>in</code> operator, typable with <code>\in</code> then pressing {{keypress|TAB}} (i.e. uses [[LaTeX]] codes, or also possible by simply copy-pasting, e.g. {{not a typo|√ and ∛}} possible for [[square root|sqrt]] and [[cube root|cbrt]] functions). Julia has support for the latest major release [[Unicode]] 15.01 (Julia&nbsp;1.1112-DEV supports latest 1516.1 point0 release<ref>{{Cite web |title=Unicode 15.1 support by stevengj · Pull Request #253 · JuliaStrings/utf8proc |url=https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/pull/253 |access-date=2024-01-22 |website=GitHub |language=en |archive-date=22 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240122212737/https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/pull/253 |url-status=live }}</ref>)<ref>{{Cite web |title=support Unicode 1516 via utf8proc 2.810.0 by stevengj · Pull Request #4739256925 · JuliaLang/julia |url=https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/4739256925 |access-date=20222025-1101-0308 |website=GitHub |language=en |archive-date=3 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221103134225/https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/47392 |url-status=live }}</ref> for the languages of the world, even for source code, e.g. variable names (while it's recommended to use English for public code, and e.g. package names).

Julia is supported by ''[[Project Jupyter|Jupyter]]'', an online interactive "notebooks" environment,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://jupyter.org/ |title=Project Jupyter |access-date=19 August 2015 |archive-date=29 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629054445/https://jupyter.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and ''[https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl Pluto.jl]'', a "reactive notebook" (where notebooks are saved as pure Julia files), a possible replacement for the former kind.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Boudreau|first=Emmett|date=2020-10-16|title=Could Pluto Be A Real Jupyter Replacement?|url=https://towardsdatascience.com/could-pluto-be-a-real-jupyter-replacement-6574bfb40cc6|access-date=2020-12-08|website=Medium|language=en|archive-date=12 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412112240/https://towardsdatascience.com/could-pluto-be-a-real-jupyter-replacement-6574bfb40cc6|url-status=live}}</ref> In addition Posit's (formerly [[RStudio]] Inc's) Quarto publishing system supports Julia, Python, R and Observable [[JavaScript]] (those languages have official support by the company, and can even be weaved together in the same notebook document, more languages are unofficially supported).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Machlis |first=Sharon |date=2022-07-27 |title=RStudio changes name to Posit, expands focus to include Python and VS Code |url=https://www.infoworld.com/article/3668252/rstudio-changes-name-to-posit-expands-focus-to-include-python-and-vs-code.html |access-date=2023-01-18 |website=InfoWorld |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-20 |title=Heads up!
