Subj : Making UTF-8 ANSIs

I'm wondering if anyone is aware of an editor for the UTF-8 text files that
have color codes, and wind up looking like a regular 16-color ANSI, but with
the option of many more colors.

I've used manytools.org and ascii-art-generator.org to create some UTF-8
files, and they oftentimes look quite good when I use cat to display them on
the command line in Linux, but I'd like to be able to edit them, or make my
own from scratch for a more-colorful BBS.

But the idea of doing it directly with hex codes in one window, and
repeatedly cat'ing the resulting file seems tedious at best. And the text
editors I'm aware of don't display the color (or I'm missing the setting to
do so).
