Not really. 

thb at thb-nb:~> cat test
äöü
thb at thb-nb:~> file test
test: UTF-8 Unicode text
thb at thb-nb:~> hexdump -C test
00000000  c3 a4 c3 b6 c3 bc 0a                              |.......|

thb at thb-nb:~> recode utf8..latin1 test
thb at thb-nb:~> file test
test: ISO-8859 text

US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 though, so you folks in the US should not be
