Thunderbird and Fonts

I noticed some fonts in my email in Thunderbird did not show up.
Special characters like $ at times would show up as strange characters.

To test, I goto Edit/Preferences/Display/Fonts button. I "unchecked"
Allow messages to use other fonts. I Pick "Unicode (UTF-8)" for both
Outgoing Mail and Incoming Mail. Then view/Message Body as Plain Text
(default).

This seem to work ok. Note, I send and view in plain text. Does this
have any unseen ramifications?

From my understanding, UTF-8 is a universal character encoding for all
languages. Is this right? Should we all be using UTF-8?

thanks,


jay
