Or when one of your cow-orkers is using an editor that works with some
other encoding.
Much of my current day is taken up by mucking out the cages of SQL
Server database developers who've opened one of our UTF-8 documents
with a Windows editor, silently converted it to UTF-16 and then broken
every part of our build process.
If you're not in an environment that's reliably unicode-clean or at
least ë clean, then you might find that ë isn't necessary, but
it's still desirable to use it as it's less fragile.
