The -fno-extended-identifiers option seems to do something in this area, but I don't know if it is sufficient. But it may block some characters which are used in standard English (for some values of standard).

So what? Source code was fine with ASCII for a long time, this push for unicode symbols is a recent endeavor and IMO a huge mistake not just because of the security impliciations.
