It might be that a similar appreach to pdfr-ec.tex would do (you have
to tell to Acrobat which character code represents which letter of the
Unicode and is probably implemented in LaTeX), but esp. because of the
reason mentioned below I don't think that it would be worth the effort
to implement it now.
