Alex, this is much simpler than you think.
I will give you a simple example: My keyboard has a key for the \~n letter
(using TeX notation) which is used in the Spanish language.
When I press that key, I *expect* to produce such character.
Not obtaining that letter but some other is completely annoying for me.
It is as if I pressed "t" and obtained "y". Completely unnaceptable.
Since you don't have such key in your keyboard, you have nothing to worry
about, but even if you would have that key in your keyboard, and you
don't want to produce such character, just don't press that key! Where
is the problem? I don't see any problem at all!

Ok. Please, tell me another example of a program that should not allow
8-bit input (and output) by default.
