None of Chinese Japanese, Korean, Arabic or Hebrew have an uppercase. I believe the Cyrillic alphabet does. That’s Russian Serbian etc.
Serif and sans serif is not about emphasis? Its pretty much just design and can be included in pretty much any script. The claim used to be that there was a difference in reading speed bw the two but thats not true. Thats not a linguistic feature but a design feature.
Now italics are tough in most non latin languages. In written form emphasis can be shown by font size, placement of words, color or even spacing.
I think I remember hearing about using a dot with some vertical Asian language to show emphasis too. (Was a Yt short so weak memory)

About the dot thing: Yep, at least in Japanese. It’s used in written entertainment media such as manga.
