Are you using a terminal program that supports UTF-8?

Most BBS terminal programs that I'm aware of (e.g. SyncTERM) do not support
UTF-8, so that's not going to work well with the majority of clients. Or is
this for a web UI (where UTF-8 is widely supported)?

Synchronet program was named 'sbbs' instead of 'sync' to avoid conflict w/Unix.
