Just to include some characters is not the whole story, you know. Especially
for (good) typesetting. 

>From the XeTeX FAQ:

XeTeX reads all input files as Unicode text. However, the standard 
hyphenation files for many languages use encodings such as the 
TeX-Latin1 (Cork) encoding or various others. Such files, if they 
include literal characters in the range above 127, will 
almost certainly cause XeTeX to fail, with an "invalid character" error.
