There aren't any issues with text files.

I can think of precisely two cases where PROJ *might* want to use
characters outside of the ASCII repertoire:

1. Correct spelling of "Plate Carée".
2. The degree symbol.

I can't see how either of these could be sufficiently important to be
worth the effort of dealing with the morass of issues related to text
encodings.
