Of course ;-D

No, really ... I have to do with Unicode (and therefore UTF-8) at work. Its
useful as you do not have to care about charsets. But its also problematic
as not every app understands it.

Btw, did you know that latest gcc (3.4.x) assumes that the sourcecode is 
UTF-8 ? (even the comments). Had some troubles with German comments 
the other day...

Maybe a Fedora special - I did not check.

Kind regards,
