Paul. With full Unicode this is [almost always] possible. With subsets it is not in general possible, which is not of course to say that it is not often possible.
There is august precedent for this formulation. Chomsky's statement that translation between pairs of natural languages is not in general possible does not mean that [many]instances of successful translation do not occur.
