Support for alphabets with extended characters.
Japanese for instance, etc. Anything out of the "ordinary" I would say,

To understand Unicode, you also need to understand ASCII.
ASCII is a standard for exchanging text between different types of
computers and systems. It contains a set of about 95 characters such as
A-Z, a-z, 1-9 and several punctuation marks that all computer systems
can understand.
However, in today's world, we use far more than these standard 95
characters in our daily communications. This is mostly due to
punctuation not found in ASCII, foreign language characters and
languages that are picture-based instead of character-based like Asian
languages.
Just one Unicode character in a message is needed to make Entourage send
your message as Unicode. Entourage warns you that the message must be
sent as Unicode because older mail systems may not understand it. Today,
most systems in use should have no problem with it.
Hope this helps!

Strange why a english speaking person requires messages be sent in Unicode.
Must be something to do with her server at the news media building whom I
have been corresponding with.

There could be many many reasons: extended characters like the ellipsis
or the curly quotes are not necessarily part of the standard set and
require Unicode encoding for instance.
