Unicode is source code okay?

Can I assume that the IDE of everyone is capable to handle unicode 
characters? I tend to use unicode a lot for drawing tables, trees, etc. 
Code are easier to read if we can write "└─ some node" instead than 
"\u2514\u2500 some node" in the Java source files. I also like to use 
the standard latitude and longitudes symbols, φ and λ, as local variables...

Thanks! I went away, we will see if this is an issue for some users.

The UTF-8 encoding is already specified in Maven pom.xml and in NetBeans 
project configurations. So at least the Maven build should be nice on 
every platforms.

Hi Martin,

I think that works OK for me. We can set svn:eol-style native, and also set text file
encoding to UTF-8, I believe that would work.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris
