I've not seen that, but then again, being USian, "plain 7-bit ASCII" it 
my standard working set.  I naturally have UTF-8 on, but don't actually 
see it that much.

Yes, it supports it, or at least has and should.

Thanks for mentioning /that/.  I hadn't done either that or python-
updater in awhile.  I guess I should.  (FWIW, someone just posted a 
proposal on the gentoo-dev list suggesting a project to combine revdep-
rebuild, python-updater, and perl-cleaner, plus any other modules that 
may be thought necessary, into one.  I really like that idea as I 
routinely run revdep-rebuild but seldom run the others.  If they were all 
taken care of with a single command...)
