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.
