Well, there are many useful, and widely used even in English, 8-bit
characters - ellipsis, bullets, curly quotes, (c), (r), TM, and so

compelling argument.
Note that most of those characters are only in the MacRoman encoding,
though. If you use the true elipsis character with a font that doesn't
support MacRoman (Osaka, for example), you'll get some other random
character. So even those characters typically need to either be
localized or to be expressed in Unicode.
