But I don’t know Chinese so I don’t know that is an arbitrary Chinese character with the Latin A for contrast. I’ve seen languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet occasionally intersperse Latin letters before so until I was told just now I assumed that this Chinese character with A had some significance in Chinese.
So I don’t think it’s very effective at that.

In don’t know that using flags for language settings is more semantic, but it’s convention so I know what it means. I’ve seen flags used to indicate language settings for as long as I’ve been using computers.
