The issue with Vogon poetry is not ASCII, and replacing spaces with underscore doesn't affect its beauty, the problem is with commas, periods and other punctuation, which are an integral part of the typical structure of the metrics:I'd rather ask "which characters are safe to use?" ... and the answer would be: the same as the last 50 years: US ASCII alphabet (a-z and A-Z), roman numerals (0-9), underscore (_), dash (-) ... and that's about it. So no punctuation marks, no other language specific characters, no financial characters, no math symbols, no vogon poetry, no nothing.
Think of the immortal line:
it would become something like:Gashee morphousite, thou expungiest quoopisk!
Code:
Gashee_morphousite-_thou_expungiest_quoopisk_
