Unicode locales have exemplar characters for each locale. You can read more
about it in UTS#35, and find the machine-readable data in the CLDR project.
For a chart view of some of the data arranged by script and language, take a
look at
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/by_type/misc.exemplarCharacters.html(for
Latin a wide screen helps ;-)
