Sorry, there is a fundamental problem here. I quote from analyse.e:
-- 1-24		index for keywords
-- 25-29	[unused]
-- 30		comment indicator
-- 31		re-mapped TAB
-- 32-127	ascii chars
-- 128-212	index for builtin routines - some excess space is here to
absorb future additions
-- 213,214  marker for win32lib, glocals PL 27/10/02

By current[1] reckoning there are currently max 18+4=3D22 spare possible
slots for foreign characters but (I think) it would be murder to
squidge them in and not break anything.

--[1] reduced if Rob introduces any  more builtins in future
versions(quite unlikely).

All is possibly not lost, since the source is publicly available, and
surely *SOMEONE ELSE* (hint, hint) might have a bash at this.

PS 214 is max possible squeeze of 4 chars into one Eu integer, which
the editor internals rely *very* heavily on too.
