If your scope is limited within UK, FR and DE, Latin-1 could be usable, within Europe (including countries using European languages/characters), unicode could be.

But, if your scope includes CN and JP, unicode is useless for plain text communication but ISO-2022-JP-2 could be usable.

If you need really international scope, pure ASCII is the only choice.

For more information on this enlightening and forward-thinking approach to internationalization, the interested reader may be directed to RFC 1815.
