I don't think that exists in unicode or UTF-8 -- could you give an
example of a character that is classified as an alphanumeric in a
particular locale, but not in another?

I think this whole discussion about alphanumerics in world languages is
a red herring though. I don't see any objection in using any
symbol/glyph as admissible in variable names, barring certain reserved
ASCII ones, like space, comma, dot, dash, several kinds braces etc.
It would also greatly simplify the whole implementation.
