This is an interesting comment but also an edge case. I build custom components all the time, such as a combo box that allows a user to select a list of options but also allows the user to type in a fragment and the options will be displayed filtered based on the text fragment typed. I would imagine your use case is a nightmare, but the average dev team and product manager is probably myopic and anglo-centric so they are more worried about the average latin language based user as opposed to your use case. I'm glad you are sharing this, its good to be aware of and I might share this with my own product team in the future.
