I could not find a ticket for this probelm so I have aopened a new one: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3853
Please add yourselves to the CC list if you want to follow along on updates. Also if you are aware of other areas of the code or mapfile that need to add support for UTF-8 characters please add a comment.

I see the problem, just not sure how to fix it. Steve W. provided some possibilities but that’s probably not the only approach. It would be helpful if some interested person(s) got together and drafted an RFC. I think the devs would be in a position to help define implementation details if the problem is well defined along with a proposed solution.

However, we who live outside the English speaking world tend to have more characters in the alphabet than A to Z. This makes the mapfile validation idea only half effective because for making things to work at all with the native data we must accept almost everything that is non-numeric with wildcards. Are there others who think that this is a problem?
