[Tech] Language curiosities

Russian just appeared among the languages in the Geminispace. Only one
capsule tags its content in russian, <gemini://spline-online.tk/> but
note there are other russian-speaking capsules, without language tags,
such as <gemini://hugeping.tk/>.

There is only one page tagged in german, and it is a translation of
the Gemini specification
<gemini://qwertqwefsday.eu/specification.de.gmi>. Any other
translations somewhere?

Only one capsule tags texts as korean and it's beautiful (at least
with Lagrange):
<gemini://namu.blue/gemlog/2020-10-02-????_?_??_??.gmi>.

Nothing in arabic, hindi, tamil or chinese (mandarin) spotted yet.

We've also found yesterday a bunch of russian gemini capsules (Voskhod 
capsules?). Can't wait to see more other languages in the geminispace!

???????.?? seems available, and would be a great name for a Gemini capsule :-)

It seems ???????.?? is not supported [1], and ??????.?? (without Acute 
accent) is already registered.
Anyway ??????.?? is not registered at the moment (eurid does not allow the 
Acute accent either).

letters, numbers, and hyphens
