Yes.. for instance texmacs and maxima. And a2ps -- doomed to be replaced by paps. But these examples are becoming rarer and rarer. mc, for instance, is quite alright nowadays (well, in Debian it is). Of course your point is quite correct. Until even a few years ago, UTF-8 was only practicable for hardy pioneers. But it is different now.
