I just use TexMaker - occasionally Texstudio - with unicode enabled in
the editor settings.
Every now and again I will get a bad character reference, but that is
always because of the lack of that character or character size being
supplied by the font foundry concerned.
Not anything to do with the editor or TexLive.
