   Yes, it does.

   You might be able to view them, if your terminal is still UTF-8. But I think I   
   remember you changing your locale to CP850 now, so sure it's probably doubtful   
   you can view much of any UTF-8.   
      
   You can display utf-8 correctly if you terminals, locale, and charset settings   
   are just right. The only issue I have is the CP437 line/box drawing characters   
   when converted to UTF-8 just wrap early because they are converted to multiple   
   bytes. They do display correctly, though.   
      
   Most of this was already covered in the GOLDED echo, and is probably off topic   
   here. I heard the moderator rules with an iron fist. ;)
