Yes, this is a problem. Eventually ht://Dig will support Unicode and this
will help internationalization in general. If you are actually seeing it
ignore a whole page simply because there are extended characters, that's a
bug. However, if you don't see those characters at all, my suggestion is to
change them to escapes. After all, I doubt most browsers deal well with
them either. Depending on platform, you may see different characters
entirely!
