I can; it's called UTF-8. Not only that, I can input text easily in German (modern, 
Old High and Middle), Gothic, Swedish, Vietmanese and many other languages. You're 
welcome to look at the list of Internet legal charsets - 
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>; for bonus points, guess which ones 
you might see (a) in email; (b) on a Macintosh; (c) on an IBM mainframe; (d) on a 
webpage; (e) never (not disjunctive or injective). I see no reason why yours would be 
anything but (e); Esperanto speakers speak just about every language in the world, and 
OS vendors (outside of Linux) have not seen fit to add special support for Esperanto. 
As the use of Unicode goes up, the likelyhood that someone will support a new 8-bit 
codepage, especially one that doesn't add new support for a language, is dropping fast.
