This is a problem of the past I think. When the problem arises -- well I am of aware of standard Swedish way. American typographer Robert Bringhurst is not happy with the computer guys who thought half as many glyphs as Gutemberg worked with was enough back in the days when 7-bit ascii was conceived.
