ocrs should support models that can recognize non-Latin text.

Some likely sub-tasks:

Eliminating the hard-coded alphabet from the recognition process. IIRC this was from an EasyOCR model that I used at one point.
Since the alphabet is deeply linked with the model, it would be convenient if both could be shipped in one .rten file.
It will be necessary to figure out how to support a larger set of class outputs without too much of a performance hit.

will support Chinese character？

The goal is to make this possible. There are a lot of details still to be figured out.
