I would hope anybody in this day and age only uses UTF-8 for text files
and source code. It was designed to solve the multiple CodePages mess
from before.
Anyway, back to the point. I fully agree that anything outside the ASCII
range is a bad idea for Identifiers, Unit Names etc. Even if the
compiler does support it, using it is still a bad idea.
As a contract programmer I already struggle working on code where
identifiers, Class names, methods, code comments etc are written in
non-English [I fully agree its their right to do so, as it is not
feasible to think everybody can speak or write English]. But adding
different character sets to the mix will massively increase that hurdle.

I am chinese.
I also think identifiers should be ascii 7 bit or below only.
String values should be UTF-8 as much as possible.
It just avoids so many problems.

What problems, Denis? We use component names like "SchließenButton"
since many years with Delphi in training programs for german pupils. And
in code for the international community, we don't use it.
