In general I think you can, the readline stuff is an IPython feature I think. But I don't really know since I don't have IPython to compare with and don't use unicode hardly ever. But I think Python itself is pretty safe with unicode v ascii in most cases. I'm sure Kent will be able to comment further, he seems to have made himself an expert in this area!
