We can migate internally to UTF-8 while keeping the current syntax rules, so nothing changes for the user yet (i.e. the database changes but not the interfaces).
Once we use UTF-8 internally we can start to support non-latin-1 characters in attributes and convert interfaces to use UTF-8, as decided by the community.
This seems a reasonable approach. It would be good to move to a place where registrants can record their actual legal name in the database and have that displayed to other users. Kind regards, Leo
