It depends on the application:

- When displaying email on screen, it's best to transliterate by
  removing accents etc.

- When communicating with a database, it's best to report an error
  so configuration can be fixed (perhaps charsets are wrongly set).

- When converting HTML, it's best to provide a hook to replace
  unrepresentable characters with &#NNNN;
