--- Quote ---P.S. If it isn't already done so, theme and mod code needs to be checked for non-ASCII hardcoded characters before SMF endorses it by putting it in the download area of this site. Code files (as opposed to language files) should always use HTML entities for non-ASCII characters, but many authors seem to overlook this.

Until earlier this year, Subs.php explicitly had some special characters in it, Subs-Charset.php still does, for emulation of case folding where the mb_* functions are not available.

It's possible to strip out all non UTF-8 handling with approximately 500 edits vs RC4's codebase, but it really isn't for the faint of heart.

There are many things (ideas and features) not tracked in Mantis and not forgotten. That's why we have todo lists as well. ;)

Back on topic, this is under discussion - as many things concerning upcoming versions. As I already mentioned a couple of times, I believe we will at least switch to UTF-8 by default.
