Somewhere in the documentation of hyperref.

It was my suggestion in my very first mail. It will make your life
much easier. You do not need tweaking with active characters by the
inputenc package because these characters often break something.
XeLaTeX works natively in Unicode, therefore you can have unicode
outlines (I have outlines in Hindi). Polyglossia allows you to switch
automatically font per language but TeX Live 2013 contains beautiful
font EB Garamond containing both Latin and Cyrillic (I used this font
together with Devanagari in a document where I needed Czech + Russian
examples within a Hindi text). You can also use ucharclasses to change
the font per unicode block. Of course, XeLaTeX is included in TeX Live
2013.
