I don't think that exists in unicode or UTF-8 -- could you give an example of a character that is classified as an alphanumeric in a particular locale, but not in another? I think this whole discussion about alphanumerics in world languages is a red herring though. I don't see any objection in using any symbol/glyph as admissible in variable names, barring certain reserved ASCII ones, like space, comma, dot, dash, several kinds braces etc. It would also greatly simplify the whole implementation.
