Is there a policy against using Unicode identifiers in test files?

As part of adding !d to f-strings, there's a code path that's only executed if the text of the expression is non-ascii. The easiest way to exercise it, and the way I found a bug, is by using an identifier with Unicode chars. I know we have a policy against this in Lib/, but what about Lib/test/? I could work around this with exec-ing some strings, but that seems like added confusion that I'd avoid with a real Unicode identifier.

Could you use string literals with non-ascii characters? They are more used in tests.
