From photos I have seen, this is not uncommon in large cities, in countries where the local language or languages use non-Western scripts. As far as I am aware, OSM is storing the data in UTF-8 and mixing two scripts is not a problem. Inputting it might be a problem but if you get local people to do it, it is not a problem.
It may get a problem in a BiDi Scenario but this is up to the UI of the editors and the renderers.
