URLs use a system called punycode to convert to a subset of ASCII that's used for DNS resolution. Not sure if typing in non-ascii script in the address bar would auto-convert in most browsers or not though.

people also fucking suck at remembering punycode exists and will just default to the english alphabet because it's easier
