XP Notepad has full Unicode support and can save various flavours of 
Unicode files.  Microsoft cares about their non-English speaking, non-
European customers.

As to Unicode punctuation, I wasn't able to evaluate most of the 
proposals in this NG because my news reader is not Unicode-aware and my 
code page is Russian, so I've seen most of them as question marks.
