Well, several other non-Latin languages are OK : Japanese, Korean,
Chinese (both), Arabic, Hebrew

All is needed is having the correct characters in the bterm-unifont
Unicode font.....

Can you provide us the the Unicode codes of all characters needed for
Hindi (or are there too much characters needed for such a list to be realistic?)

Farsi (Persian) seems to be missing some characters as well...we still
have to investigate this.
