Hallo,

Last time I looked, everything treats "text" as being 8 bits per
character. (Or, more commonly, 7, and if the MSB isn't 0, weird things
happen...) That's why (for example) HTML has lots of weird constructs
such as "…" in it, instead of just typing in the actual character
you want. (And let's be clear here: SGML and all those decendents are
all using "<" and ">" - the mathematical greater and less operations -
when what they *really* mean are angle brackets, a quite distinct
glyph.) Last time I checked, nobody was keen on using 64 bits per
character...
You must look out more. I use áéíóúç in web pages all the time.
