It’s really useful to use a bit of unicode to make the code look similar to the math it’s based on (eg. my lecture notes, LaTeX). However, I also want others (eg. students) to be able to work with my code without too much trouble.

Therefore, my compromise is to use unicode if it _looks fine in Consolas_. Accents typically don’t, whereas greek letters and even some subscripts do.
