Q: Unicode available/planned for (La)TeX(3)?

[Eric Maryniak <e.maryniak@pobox.com>]

Hello (t)experts,

Please excuse me for possibly asking something wrong, incoherent or in a
faq (although http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html gave no hits
when queried on "Unicode").

Q: is there a (La)TeX variant, style, documentclass option, ...?, where you
   can use Unicode? Eg., I would imagine something like:

  \documentclass[10pt,twoside,a4paper,unicode]{article}
  ...
  On 2002-07-01 (July 1, 2002) all europeans from the 11 countries will
  no longer have coins from their own currency but instead use the euro:
  \u{20AC}.

\bye, Eric.
