Ah! Those Frenchies ;-)
Well, on Usenet we have a group (news:fr.usenet.8bits) that is dedicated to
solve this kind of problems. It was set up loooong ago, but it is still not
disbanded.
And no, the (remanent) discussion about the introduction of UTF-8 as an
allowed character set on the fr.* hierarchy is *not* the most frequent
subject.
We certainly had been allowed a revival around 1999, thanks to the ¤ sign;
but the winner is probably the "smart quotes" that a well known word
processor inserts as apostrophe, particularly when the text is cut&pasted.
