   Hi Maurice!

   I had no grief whatsoever.   
   But I also do not have the need to send characters of languages that I do not   
   speak.

   The problem seems that the way it was coded heavily relies on 8 bit value   
   replacement ...   
   Some people tried to add UTF-8 support, but they gave up.
