Nowadays, the use of non-ASCII characters via the UTF-8 encoding is
sufficiently widespread that if another editor displays them in an
illegible way, it's usually considered as a limitation of that
other editor (tho it may also depend on availability of fonts, which
are usually not specific to an editor but to the overall system).
