 MBSE supports UTF-8. It uses the libiconv (if that is the corcect name) for
 character set conversions. It may still have some weak spots. When Michiel
 Broek put this all in, there were very few who used utf-8 so cross testing
 was probably not possible.

 I found that there are occasional errors in cursor positioning, but that may
 also be caused by linking to the wrong cursor library on my side.

 To your dismay you will find that he relys in the CHARS kludge. Buit it
 should be possible to change that is a more heuristic approach.

 I have tried the latter quite successfully in a Python experiment.

 Vince Coen is the current guardian of the source code and I know Andrew Leary
 is currently working on improovements on some options in MBSE.

 I have MBSE running on a RaspberryPi, but it is currently not accessible from
 the outside world.
