Hi Yuri, thanks for the quick reply.

I am using okular with mupdf backend (https://github.com/sandsmark/okular-backend-mupdf), and this other bug seems to be poppler related. Is it still duplicated?

There is nothing in Okular's code that prevents using non-Latin characters, imho. So I guess it's the backend's problem. But I might be wrong...
