I could type GPB or £ (Alt 156) and it will be correctly translated to UTF-8 in my outgoing messages. The problem is /incoming/. I do not have control over that. What are the chances that an incoming well formed UTF-8 sequence with the last byte is meant as a Pound sign or as an 'a' with tilde? In /my/ case? Since I do not master the portugese language and fidonet participants do not write to me in Portugese, the chance that it is meant as a Pound sign is far greater than it is meant as an 'a'with tilde.
