UTF-8 is sometimes necessary and usually works, but even today
it fails often enough that I'd rather avoid it if it's
merely a minor style issue such as arrows.  For example,
if from my Fedora desktop I run plain "ssh" into a random
Solaris 11 host and try to paste that "→" into Emacs, Emacs says
"Regexp I-search backward:", and if I try to visit a file
containing the "→" I see "?".  I'm sure that I can work around
this issue with the proper ssh flags and environment settings
and whatnot, but who has the time?
