Swift

[Leonardo Boiko]

Even Ruby could do it for years, despite having notoriously bad Unicode
string support back then:

    irb> 日本語 = 'むらさき'
    => "むらさき"

    irb> íslenska = 'fjólublár'
    => "fjólublár"

    irb> 日本語 + ' ' + íslenska
    => "むらさき fjólublár"

I don't think this feature saw much use, since programmers in a global
world can't assume that everyone will have easy access to their input
methods, and so tend to restrict code tokens to the ASCII set to encourage
participation.
