Hey @Kamil Askerov usually you can use non English/Latin alphabet characters in JQL queries without any special modifiers (if that's what you're trying to do). 

One simple thing that might solve your issue is putting the search term (the non-English/Latin characters) in double quotes e.g. "القاهرة" or "фильтр".

Sometimes the ~ operator seems to cause a bit of trouble when paired with non-English/Latin characters. You can swap this out with the LIKE operator instead.

Hope that solves the problem - if not let me know and I'm sure we can figure it out.

Best

@Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira thank you for your answer. With double quotes dosnt work for me. I will try other settings.

@Kamil Askerov No problem, if you are still unable to get it to work let me know with a bit more detail and hopefully we can find out what's causing the problem - good luck!
