No there isn't. Mystic doesn't add that either. It there a complication in that
that makes it difficult for a BBS to add that kludge correctly?

I still use CP437 here because the BBS software I use seems to depend on it. I
have used a UTF-8 terminal at times just to see how it goes. I know that MBSE
and Mystic can output in UTF-8 but they both still use CP437 or maybe LATIN-1
internaly as far as I know.

I need to figure out what keywords I need for golded to use UTF-8 properly and
then I'll try it again. I suppose I will still have trouble with Bj”rn's name
on my keyboard though.

I'm not sure how the BBS would handle posts if I was to run it from a UTF-8
console. Maybe I should try and see what happens.

Is anyone running their BBS from a UTF-8 console? Is that doable or are there
problems?
