LuaTeX supports 65536 however PlainTeX cannot use them. `main.tex`: ```tex Hello, \TeX! $$\sum_{n = 1}^\infty{1\over{n^2}} = {\pi^2\over6}$$ \bye ``` ```sh lx add -b luatex lx shell --build luatex main.tex ``` ![luatex](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47ab4ca2-1fd1-48b1-8016-7a322bbbdb32)
