There IS such a characterset ... Unicode
(somebody on the list sent a GREAT URL explaining it)

The problem is, that Unicode exists since 1991, and there are only part
implementations. (IMHO only in Windows NT, and some Unices)

But IMHO it will soon be incorporated into alle new OSes.
(IMHO it would be extremely hard to deliver a Unicode implementation for
DOS)
