Hi Nilesh,

This issue has popped up in the past (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1022), and one difficulty IMHO
is the varying quality of implementations of unicode identifiers across
programming languages.

For an implementation, please look at the current Java implementation of
IDL: it does support unicode (in the form of Java identifiers).

The downside of this though, is that it is inherently unportable and likely
not interoperable with other languages.

Kind regards,
Oscar
