I can ensure that many doesn't... I see it at work... in the source code of our projects if you write some letters with accent, they behave differently on different text editor.
HTML (and browser) give the same problem sometimes, because many sites uses ISO-something instead of UTF8 (for example this site rely on ISO-8859-1 charset, that is a subset of the UTF8).
The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from (cit. Tanembaum)

You're right, but I've got this habit
