As far as I have seen adding an entity was the suggested method, which
should not be a problem for translators to adapt to IMHO. In case this
entity is just a "this has unicode support" text, and nothing more, and if
all text handling functions will indeed have Unicode support, then adding
these entities is really not seem to worth it.
