One of my customers simply has a policy saying that all identifiers have
to be in English (the policy doesn't say if it should be American
English or proper English), and thus neatly works around the problem.

This reminds me tha Jean-Pierre Rosen had a very entertaining tutorial
on glyphs, graphemes, alphabets, characters, character sets, encodings,
etc. at Ada-Europe 2017 in Vienna.  We learnt all kinds of stuff we
really don't want to know and worry about. ;-)

Greetings,

Jacob
