You can't. id3v1 is strict iso8859-1. And voilation of that has already
given peope so much problems. No other audio player or tagger program
will support that anyway ;)

However, it's possible to forget about id3v2 2.3 with
8859-1/UCS2LE/UCS2BE and assume only id3v2 2.4 with UTF-8. Major audio
players support that or headed in that direction and it's pretty nice
solution.
