I think Yurii meant cases like latin 'a' and cyrillic 'а', for example.

They are certainly a problem. But mixing scripts in this way can only
be done maliciously.  In normal cases is clear from context which
script is being used.

Also, we already have a similar problem without leaving ASCII:  in
many fonts, I and l are indistinguishable...
