All my file systems can (both Linux and OS X). I use several Unicode 
characters (apart from diacritics from my native language) to add visual 
marks to long file names. For example:

Composable and Compilable Macros • You Want it When? « M. Flatt (ICFP 2002)

Maybe I'm a pervert but I like it more than ``macromod.pdf''.

Windows XP also works without problems with Unicode file names. Not to 
mention the excelent Unicode support in PLT Scheme (way better than in 
Python 2.x for example).

We deserve Unicode just like we deserve long file names, 8-bit safe mail 
transfer and more than 640kB RAM. ;)
