Well, so it does: Аа Бб Вв Гг Дд Ее Ёё Жж Зз Ии Йй Кк Лл Мм Нн Оо Пп Рр Сс Тт Уу Фф Хх Цц Чч Шш Щщ Ъъ Ыы Ьь Ээ Юю Яя (the above are from Russian Cyrillic; other varieties are each slightly different) and so does Greek (even not counting accents, breathings and diæresis): Αα Ββ Γγ Δδ Εε Ζζ Ηη Θθ Ιι Κκ Λλ Μμ Νν Ξξ Οο Ππ Ρρ Σσς Ττ Υυ Φφ Χχ Ψψ Ωω but not easy to type on a Western keyboard, not even Аа В Ее Ёё К М Н О Рр Сс Т у Хх Α Β Ε Ζ Η Ι Κ Μ Ν Οο Ρ Τ Υ Χ which look like Latin-alphabet letters but are different Unicode codepoints (and I'm not even counting lowercase beta which looks somewhat like eszett because the latter isn't found in us-ascii). On my Belgian keyboard I have ²³é§èçൣù even without using the dead keys, and a lot more with them, see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/other/keybbe.htm — but I don't know how one would get those non-ASCII letters on a (non-international) QWERTY keyboard meant for en-US. Another possibility :-P would be using CJK letters (with IME/XIM of course) for some commands. Yes, they are beautiful, and there are enough of them that you couldn't expect to use them all up, but how many non-East-Asian Vimmers know how to use this feature which is already built in Huge gvim?
