Hello Carlos!

 CN> How about, instead of that, just display everything from
 CN> TG as UTF-8?

How many BBS message systems even support UTF-8 today?

 CN> transliteration may be more convenient.

It would need to be managed on an echo by echo basis that  
supports UTF-8, I guess.  On second thought I wouldn't  
necessarily want to see primarily ascii-based message areas  
filled with untranslated U+HHHHH codes littering a message
