I'm using debian unstable and here unicode is per default. I like
unicode, utf-8 in particular, and I write everything in utf-8, I'm not
even thinking about that.
utf-8 I like because it's variable byte length, This has the effect
that when you are reading my translations in a non-unicode
environment, you have problem to read non-ascii characters.
Ascii-chars in unicode takes only 1 byte, but not the rest. For
example, if I write 'ä', you will see the char[s] 0xC3 0xA4, but 0xC3
in latin1 is Ã, and 0xA4 in ascii is ¤, so it will be ä for you
