I don't have any FAT3 data, but I've been using UTF-8 locales on
most of my desktop and server systems for years now and never
experienced any serious problems. You have to expect a few
surprieses - when dealing with ISO-8859-encoded data, for
example, but overall my experience has been quite smooth.
