Sure. This is one reason why (if you go way back in the archives), I was pushing for HTML to use a syntax character set that matches that document character set (ISO 10646). To be honest, I don't think anything we say here matters anyway. Netscape, Microsoft, and the W3C control HTML development, and they will make the decision to expand the syntax character set or not.
