Everyone who works with multilingual documents. Everyone who wants to
follow a single international standard as opposed to a slew of mutually
exclusive local standards. Anyone who thinks globally.
Anyone who has anything to do with the Internet must deal with UTF-8:
"Protocols MUST be able to use the UTF-8 charset, which consists of the ISO
10646 coded character set combined with the UTF-8 character encoding
scheme, as defined in [10646] Annex R (published in Amendment 2), for all
text." <RFC 2277>
