Thank you for confirming you're not in the target userbase of the
package

Please, understand that the "target userbase" of Fedora is not Latin1-only end-users. As well as not Cyrillic-only, Japan-only etc.

Since Fedora is an international project, It mean that for the Fedora's COMMON repository you have to use us-ascii names only. If for some reason you want non-us-english name with unicode characters, then create a separate repository (aka livna, freshrpms etc.), and promote that repository in its target areas only (i.e. additional repo with specific packages for Russia, additional repo for Japan, etc.).

Don't mess up all the languages in the common repository. The target of such a mess is no-one.
