May I ask why would we want the comment character to possibly be

unneeded?
Maybe I'm missing something?
Personally I think it’s okay. `%` for example is a good candidate since
you seldom use that as a leading character in prose (after a
whitespace), and it seems that `%` is often recommended as an
alternative.
Isn't '%' actually an ASCII character?
But if it doesn’t make the code more complex: why not? (I just
personally don’t have a use-case.)
Frankly, allowing multibyte characters as comment characters looks to me
more like a programming exercise than a really needed feature.
