Sorry if this is not in an ideal perlbug(1) bug report, but I couldn't figure out how to do it for perl6.

My understanding is that '​:' is not a metasyntactic inside of a rule definition, ie., that it is literal. However, it's getting parsed as something else, I'm not sure what.

rakudo​: rule colons { :​: };
:​: not yet implemented at line 1, near " }\n"

std​: rule colons { :​: };
std a194beb​: OUTPUT«ok 00​:01 119m␤»

Hi there! Thanks for the report. Indeed, :​: is still not implemented (but should be). There's another ticket for that​: #​72234. I'll close this in favor of that other ticket.
