Since you're using Synchronet, why not try using nano or vim as your external editor? You won't be able to read them via the BBS, but you will see them the way they were meant to be seen once you enter a UTF-8 capable editor. If you do decide to use one of those, make sure to use either of them in restricted mode if you decide to offer it as a choice to your users, otherwise they'll be able to load/edit other documents besides the one currently open.
