- Symbiote 6y agoMost people will care about something not in ASCII. Windows-1252 encoding was supported on American computers long before Unicode. I remember “smart quotes” being promoted as a feature of word processors. Even for people who didn't care for the quotes: • everyone appreciates ¢, ° for °F or 46° N, ¼, ½, ¾, × and ÷, • people handling large texts want §, †, ‡ and maybe ¶, • businesses want ©, ® and ™, • scientists and engineers need µ, ±, ², ³, ·. Web browsers have made it more difficult for the average user to enter these characters, but software like Microsoft Word has supported easy ways to insert many of them automatically.
