UTF-8 encoded Unicode is, in fact, suitable for everyone these days.

The 7-bit ASCII era was over decades ago.

...but this is gratuitous UTF-8 here.  You're not conveying anything
that isn't perfectly representable as 7-bit ASCII.  It's not as if
you're posting replies in Mandarin.


This might be the only time that you'll see this, but I have to agree with
Richard.  There's no point to UTF-8 here.  Or in most other English-dominated
fora for that matter, no matter how snooty one may be about proclaiming
obsolescence.
