I've added German, Bulgarian, and Greek examples. All of them have
non-English characters.

None of these characters use multiple UTF-16 codepoints. As such, if you
use a UTF-8 programming language you may first have trouble with the
German example, but if you use a UTF-16 language you will probably first
have trouble at the Emoji example.

I chose not to add an example with historic scripts, because I'm not
aware of any that display nicely in my terminal or text-editor. Perhaps
in future some could be added.

I wanted another example that would be problematic in UTF-16, so I added
a poker hand example using playing cards.
