Thank you for this report @martin-flower and welcome to the Go project!

So in #43052, we made cmd/go deliberately reject module paths that were non-ASCII and particularly added a release note for Go1.16 in https://golang.org/doc/go1.16#go-command per
C6858E99-2D85-433C-B01A-074D6E758CBA

@maruel reported this same issue in #43035 but more intentionally a regression that the team fixed for Go1.16.
Kindly cc-ing @bcmills, @jayconrod, @matloob, but I don’t think there is anything that we can do here.

Is there a workaround for users who have packages named with non-ASCII characters? Like, some kind of punny-code?
