Attached is the Prime 3.1 file.

The same trick works in Prime 4.

Does not work for Prime 4.0 - ok for mathcad 15

It's possible to use special characters in variables by first putting them in quotes, then deleting the quotes.  However, I don't think this trick works to get a variable starting with a number.  I just tried in P3.1 and it didn't work.  Perhaps P4.0, but I doubt it.

No it  does not work unfortunately.

The following special characters look like 3's and are accepted as the first character of a variable (quotes trick needed): З Ӡ Ʒ ʒ

I'm sure it's not what you were looking for, but the best work-around I could find.
