Is it time for a new charset in the Digest? [telecom]

I've been using the ISO-8859-1 "Latin1" character set in the Digest for a few years now: we adopted it as the standard after a reader made me awaare that there are no accented characters in ASCII, so I figured that I'd implement a way for him to spell his name properly, and also

I'm wondering if it's time for another change, either to one of the "transitional" Unicode formats, such as UTF-8, or perhaps to a permanent solution such as UCS-16.

I'd like to hear opinions from you, particularly if you have expertise in choosing character sets for online publicatoins such as The Telecom Digest. TIA.
