Use UTF8. In CVS, its now a one liner to add the content-type header. he
issue is converting old content, which is why it hasn't been done yet.
Most terminals/editors now do UTF8. The filters may need a bit of work,
mind you.

You can use teh &xxx; stuff, but you have to be sure that its not used
anywhere which is filtered. I suspect that it will be more confusing to
do this multiple ways, so you may as well stick to UTF8 everywhere for
consistency.
