Hoi,
One way of approaching this is by asking our corporate (ie MediaWiki) sponsors and ask them this question. When they indicate that specific models do not work for specific languages, we can find people who can help with the creation of additional characters for fonts. (I know just the man).

When we are going mobile, it makes sense to do that whole hog and indiicate that on our main pages. The phone models that actually work should also be on a prominent place ie Meta comes to mind. When we can establish that we serve content to a mobile, we can provide the mobile skin by default. This is however for our techies to sort out.
Thanks,
    GerardM
