No, symbols like
©,é,…, the German umlautsä,ö,ü,ßand all the other stuff can be used just like any other character when using UTF-8.But note that some things still have to be entities because they have a special meaning in HTML (
<and>for example, which should still be replaced with>and<if you want to use them in your text)
