Not that I know of.  Yes, they have been around forever.  But even if one has 
unicode, one must have the correct unicode font installed in order to be able 
to read foreign characters.

it seems to me that the simplest solution is just for list folk to use the 
same mailer or the same fonts if they wish to communicate in something other 
than transliteration.

Im just a pilgrim here and simply trying to see if its possible- in the 
fewest conceivable steps, to improve our communications.
