It depends on which alphabet you are using. Even latin1 has more than 36 
characters, as you have to include all the accented combinations in 
Portuguese, French and so on.

We really need an input technique to work with any phonetic alphabet 
(Latin, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali etc.) and another to work with 
shape-based alphabets like Chinese.
