I think the migration to UNICODE is almost done in the industry. Actually, we observe a lot less cases of encoding problems than than few years ago. I think it is a probe that the industry now know better how to deal with UNICODE than ever.
To tell you the truth, ancient greeks wrote in UNICODE: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F00.pdf but even better: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10140.pdf http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D200.pdfFor for what it's worth, Klingons, through a sub-standard called "ConScript" write UNICODE:
