It depends on the chosen encoding of the document. I would
expect most people^H^H^H^H^Hrogrammers to use plain 16 bit
Unicode BMP[1].
Since I am too lazy to get my computer to operate with
another character encoding (than Latin-1), I hope we can get
the Japanese, Russian, Greek, ... to translate their
document encodings to Latin-1 with numeric character
entities for storage in the FAQ.

1) BMP = Basic Multilingual Plane
= the first 65536 characters of Unicode
2) I think "ecu" sounds much better that "euro" :-(
