Well, so far we have "I can eat glass" in Yoruba and Twi:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html
For those who haven't looked lately, this little sample page has been
collecting entries at a slow but steady clip -- we're up to 109 now, nearly
1% of the world's languages (send more!) Of course half of them are German
and Italian dialects...
I recently installed Windows XP, and with its standard complement of fonts,
this page doesn't look half bad -- the only entries that don't show up are
the the Runic ones, CJK, and the Middle English letter Yogh. More of the
entries are coming through in monospace too -- even Armenian, Georgian, and
Hindi.
Progress!
