That is something we are looking at right now!

I have some prototype code that will display UTF-8 text it but triggering off of it is not fully working yet and selection/highlighting and modifications to (MUD server originated) text is not yet functional either... we do intend to have at least to have support for Left-to-Right Latinate (if that is the right word for "Western" style written languages) though whether we can include supporting combining diacriticals as part of a (re)normalising of both user entered and MUD supplied texts is not yet certain - for Mudlet 4.0

Yeah that is entirely consistent with Mudlet only handling ASCII, technically it ought to accept the extended ISO 8859-1 characters as well, but up to now I am not sure that it did. I have a PR that is still Work-in-progress that probably can display that and a number of other ISO 8850-# and other "encodings" as well as UTF-8 (see https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/pull/984) but that is only really a "technology preview" as it is part of the "something we are looking at right now" and is not ready for use as there are several connected issues that need to be sorted before there is anything usable for the masses...

Mudlet doesn't support UTF-8 but we are working on it.
