    If De Telegraaf publishes a DVD edition of their complete archive, and all
    the texts written before 2002 use the Dutch currency symbol, what code
    should they use then?

    More general answer: Unicode is not only for encoding texts that are to be
    written. Unicode is also for encoding texts that have already BEEN written.
