I am a Dane - we have three letters in our alphabet that are not represented in ascii (æ, ø and å) so let me assure you I don't except text to be in ascii, but I do expect it to be in UTF-8 and will consider it a bug if it isn't.

Bu åäöæø are still in the < 255 range so they only occupy one byte, as any other "normal" ascii character.
