Examples in non-European alphabets

So far as I am aware, all the examples-in-the-wild listed on
the 'wiki'
use the European alphabet (indeed, almost al are in
English).

Is anyone aware of examples in other scripts, such as
Russian, Japanese,
Chinese, Urdu, Gujarati, etc?

If so, would it perhaps be useful to gather then together on
one page,
and to encourage the authors of such pages to comment on any
issues
arising from the use of uFs in such scripts?

As long as Unicode is used end-to-end, I don't think there
would be  
any problems. I encourage parsers to support Unicode and to
advocate  
the use of Unicode (UTF8, primarily) in our documentation.

Yes, that's the sort of issue I was thinking of. The only
reference to
UFT8 on the wiki appears to be:

-in-wild#UTF8_Examples>
