It's extremely unlikely unless you went out of your way to do it on
purpose. Even if you did, the only way people would see it is if they
tried to access their local script equivalent of "bite me" followed by an
ASCII ".com"; it's not going to just pop up on people's screens out of
the blue.
More to the point, this problem already exists, even without any sort of
encoding -- some common English words that are registered are offensive
in foreign languages.
