No, it's not important if you don't care if characters are displayed 
correctly, or if characters are send in from the client correctly.  Just 
storing in the database as UTF-8 and converting to/from ASCII will not 
solve these problems.

But if you DO care about such mundane things, then you need to be using 
an encoding which supports those characters.
