there are so many non-compliant tools at present. Although, in principle,
it should be possible to cut and paste Unicode , in practice it very
frequently gets corrupted. The use of ANSI characters is safe.
(the same thing is true in XML. I routinely output characters as &#dddd;
rather than the character. Of course I always declare UTF-8 as the
encoding.
