If one has to tread carefully for characters as commonplace and straightforward as curly quotation marks, what hope has one if one wants (as I frequently do) to use Vietnamese characters, polytonic Greek characters, IPA characters and so on ? I really think that, in the 21st century, one should be able to rely on the receiving client displaying the the more common elements of the Unicode repertoire correctly. If I were to want to include Cherokee, Blackfoot, Dene, Cree or Naskapi, for example, then I would do well to ensure that my intended recipient(s) had support for such languages. But this should not have to be the case for mainstream languages, let alone basic punctuation.
