New issue 161: Unicode support

https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/161/unicode-support



rutsky:



I believe this issue arised 
[several](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ledger-cli/C6GOOj8kGtQ/6pGThn3DRTIJ) 
[times](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beancount/vVzzfE3m_ow/usM6Ft6-zi0J), 
but haven't found ticket for it with information about current status and plans.



For example, I want to have account name with Unicode characters in it. As I 
see beancount currently doesn't support that:



```

$ cat test2.beancount 

option "operating_currency" "RUB"



2014-01-31 open Assets:Imbalance-RUB                            RUB

2014-01-31 open Assets:Orphan-RUB                               RUB

2014-01-31 open Assets:Активы                                   RUB

$ bean-check test2.beancount 

/home/bob/stuff/money/test2.beancount:5:       Invalid token: 'Assets:Активы'

$ pip list | grep beancount

beancount (2.0b15)

```



I'm trying to switch from Gnucash to Beancount (with 
[gnucash-to-beancount](https://github.com/henriquebastos/gnucash-to-beancount) 
converter tool), and limiting account names to ASCII is a showstopper for me.



What is the current status of Unicode support (in account names and other 
entities)?



What are the plans to support Unicode everywhere?



Maybe there are known workarounds?
