<p class='answer-content' lang="en">
I see no reason why any character within the declared character set should not be used in the document title.<br />
<br />
i.e. If you declare a document to be ISO-8859-1 (with either a meta tag, or ideally the Content-Type response header), then any printable character in that characters set is valid in any text node, which includes the title tag. Obviously the ascii characters "<", ">", and "&", need to be encoded as HTML entities. <br />
<br />
If for some odd reason you are designing for a particular client that only supports 7 bit ASCII then obviously you can't use any extended or multibyte characters anywhere, but most modern browsers support a wide range of character sets.

The Host Resolver or DNS thingy would not be able to parse that information correctly.<br />
#s and Leâ¬â¬ers from a standard keyboard/? That is machine language, so it could be used, but most server farms would nix it on the fly or drop it.
