Those characters are still based on the Roman alphabet, though. Non-Roman alphabets such as Cyrillic are trickier. For example, I can copy-and-paste Cyrillic, as in русский, but I don't know offhand how to produce those characters on my keyboard, much less on my iPad or mobile device.

- Symbiote 11y agoWhen I travelled round Georgia and Armenia for a couple of weeks I enabled the Russian, Georgian and Armenian keyboard layouts for my phone (it's just a setting, and then a key labelled EN-RU-GE-AR appeared). With significant effort I could type some Georgian or Armenian into Google Translate -- they are awful, awful scripts. Russian was easier, but not as widespread as I'd expected. I could also let other people type things, and they all know about switching between layouts, since they do it all the time to type email addresses etc.
- emergentcypher 11y agoYou can add Russian as an input language and use a keyboard shortcut to switch between Russian and English (usually alt+shift or super+space), and then it's just a matter of learning the keyboard layout. If you're learning Russian, you have to learn a new alphabet anyway, a new layout isn't that much more trouble.
