+
+GraphQL documents are expressed as a sequence of
+[Unicode](http://unicode.org/standard/standard.html) code points.
+
+However, with few exceptions, most of GraphQL is expressed only in the original
+ASCII range so as to be as widely compatible with as many existing tools,
+languages, and serialization formats as possible. Other than the ignored Unicode
+code points, Non-ASCII Unicode code points are only found within {StringValue}.
