Yes, the main purpose of HELLO is to check multi-script capability,
and it would be simpler if HELLO displayed just a few symbols
from every script.  But since HELLO contains greetings in various
languages now, we risk offending some users by not including their
languages in this list.

This is not a problem since we can easily fix errors when users notice
and report them.

BTW, I think we should convert HELLO to UTF-8.  Do you see any symbol
in HELLO not supported by UTF-8?
