    Is there any encoding that can represent characters that cannot be 
    represented in UTF-8? If so, we may have an issue. If not, then we 
    should just require UTF-8. Unicode is supposed to be able to represent 
    any character from other encodings. I don't know if it actually does 
    that, but I'm not aware of any encoding that can't be mapped to Unicode.
    
    Cheers,
    Daniel.
