The Greek string υοθτθβε (meaningless and nearly unpronounceable, would sound roughly like "eeohtht-thveh") will get you YouTube as the top search result because those letters are what you get from typing "YouTube" with your keyboard set to Greek mode, at least on Windows.

Similarly, Japanese ようつべ translates to yo-u-tu-be (as if the word "Youtube" were read before the Great Vowel Shift) and is often used in place of the proper word.
Fascinating. Not only that, it even fetches https://www.youtube.com/feed/gr as the first result, at least on duckduckgo.
