Not sure what that is. I mean that in a local nordic, setting people can use iso-8859-1|15/windows-1252/UTF-8 for their needs be means of converting the characters as-needed without loss, with very few practial restrictions. 

For a larger setting that won't do, but then the need is typically less since people tend to use ASCII only, or you jump to all unicode.

Just because I use UTF-8 doesn't mean I use start using more characters in practice.
