The vast majority of readability research has been conducted on latin character sets. The few studies on non-latin character sets that I found suggest that reading patterns like the f-pattern and the layer cake pattern are universal across character sets. For example, in right-to-left languages like Arabic, the f-pattern was mirrored.$1 That being said, expectations about information density and font size vary wildly across languages and character sets.
