I am sure this will be a very interesting discussion, but it will be about implementation of sofware and that is not a matter that needs the attention of the FTSC.
Please take it to the UFT-8 area where it is on-topic.
UTF-8 is available from 2:280/464, 2:280/5555, 2:280/5003, 2:203/0, 1:249/303, 3:712/848 and others.
