Have you been able to find substantial Java source in which non-ascii identifiers were used? I have been curious about its prevalence, but wouldn't even know how to start searching for such code.
No, I haven't.
The most substantial use cases (if any) would have to be in closed source code, which is hard to find.
I spent a little time looking for Java tutorials in a few languages: Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean. Couldn't find anything in Chinese. (I don't know these languages. I have no idea if I was looking in the right places, etc.)
For identifiers, the Spanish-language tutorials mostly used Spanish words stripped down to ASCII (accents and tildes dropped).
The Korean and Japanese tutorials I found (3 total) used English identifiers exclusively.
They did tend to use non-English characters freely in comments and (about half the time) in string literals. The Japanese tutorials had no comments at all in the code.
