It depends on the application:
- When displaying email on screen, it's best to transliterate by
removing accents etc.
- When communicating with a database, it's best to report an error
so configuration can be fixed (perhaps charsets are wrongly set).
- When converting HTML, it's best to provide a hook to replace
unrepresentable characters with &#NNNN;
