This was possible with LaTeX basically since forever, you need something
this in your preamble:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}% or any other font
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Since April 2018, you can drop the inputenc thing.  The other challenge
was to find a font which covers the characters you need, and then assign
the correct encoding to it via fontenc.  With the advent of XeTeX and
LuaTeX, you can drop the fontenc part as well.

Otherwise your patch LGTM.

Best, Arash
