Your image shows a Latin based A and something perhaps oriental.  I
suspect a single character font image won't be sufficient either.

Maybe the best way is to spell out the word in the font and language
it represents.  That way you aren't requiring a foreign language user
to at least be able to recognize the word for their language in English.

Some groups, like French Canadians for instance, really really don't want to use
English for anything, even if they can.

Of course there are many variants, like French in Thailand, Spanish in
the Philippines.  The Philippines is tougher though because their Spanish
laps over into indigenous languages like Tagalog.  Maybe Thailand
is similar.
