Unfortunately, epic can only do "pass through". What I mean by "pass through" is that the display of utf8 characters is controlled by your terminal emulator (for example, "xterm" or "putty"). If your terminal emulator supports utf8, then everything should work except for column wrapping, which will be wrong, because epic does not yet know how to properly count columns for utf8 encoding. If, however, you're not using a utf8 terminal emulator, then you would need support in epic to convert utf8 strings into whatever your terminal emulator can display. Unfortunately, there is no support for that in epic today, either in epic4 or in epic5. It is hoped that as we learn more about i18n of console applications, or if someone who has experience with this offers us advice and code, we can make that a reality someday. But because this is just a volunteer project, I can offer no suggestion when it might happen. Some day. =) Thanks for the question! Sorry about the unhappy answer.
