RealVNC didn't recommend that the clipboard text in the *CutText messages and the string in the ServerInit message should be UTF-8, did they? I have no trouble having the string in the new DesktopName pseudo-encoding always be UTF-8. It's all those other strings that currently is ASCII only (or Latin-1 in the case of *CutText) if you want it to work properly.
