As a sighted reader I prefer UTF-8 to \xhhhh notation. However I'm with
Bert on this that this is not a top priority as we had a working
solution before. There were some tables in latin-1 and these worked
(maybe only if you use them to translate latin-1 text). Of course for
uniformity it would be nice if they were all in the same encoding. So I
would suggest to delay this until after we ship the 2.5 release (which
as it looks now might be sometimes in August because when most of us are
back from summer holidays).

Thanks
Christian
