No, but some have been saying they will at some nebulous point in the
future.  So far I still have to change Thunderbird, Firefox and Emacs
to use UTF-8 by default.

It comes from too many years of people failing to get even my simple
surname correct (no, there really *isn't* supposed to be a "u" in it).
I figure people with umlauts, accents and other characters feel the
same way.  ;)
