There are a mass of various language users on this site. Especially Chinese, Japanese and Eastern Asian. Why can't we use our languages to type.

It is biased! You supply, Russ, all of the alter diacritics for European languages, yet don't make them available for non-European/English language users, and yet they are there for Swedes, Norwegians, Croats etc. who are European! Is this a worldwide web?

What's the score with Asia????

Ah, the worldwide web. Are there URLs with non-Latin characters?

I wonder how many, so called 'International sites', will keep up the options, and not just default to the "Latin-characters" when a non-English user tries to type???
