The reason is that there are already some cases on the C side.
For authors, there are about 158 non-ASCII in the kernel tree (if I grepped correctly), e.g.:
MODULE_AUTHOR("漆鹏振 (Qi Pengzhen) <aric.pzqi@ingenic.com>"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Martin Povišer <povik+lin@cutebit.org>"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>");
There are also a few descriptions too, e.g.:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("NAND flash driver for OLPC CAFÉ chip"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("NHPoly1305 ε-almost-∆-universal hash function");
Cheers, Miguel
