Not if there is an accompanying CHRS kludge. ;)

Without it the message editors of the readers used throughout fidonet, don't know which character set was used to post the message, and most default to plain ascii in that case, and won't show the utf-8 characters correctly. And your message becomes somewhat unreadable...
