There's lots of non-english codebases out there, supporting symbols for their languages is a big deal.

In a way, it's in part a job for the dev tools. Autocomplete engines should be able to complete these symbols from an ascii-only hint. 'a' should offer "α" as one of the completion options, and 'bla' should offer "BLÅHAJ".
