Is support for non-english characters common in programming languages? I mean, technically, I would think it is feasable, but I don't have any experience in anything other than english, so I don't know how common it is. I know that there are non-english based programming languages, but can something like C#, C++, C, Java, or Python support non-english classes/methods/variables?

Example in go (url, http://play.golang.org/p/wRYCNVdbjC)

package main

import "fmt"

type ?? struct {
    ?? string
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, ??")
    ?? := new(??)
    ??.?? = "hello world"
    fmt.Println(??.??)
}
