[db-wg] Re: Proposal to Allow UTF-8 in “descr:” and “remarks” Attributes

Support from me - an obvious and required enhancement at this point! - Mick On 22/10/2025 08:59, Edward Shryane wrote:

Dear colleagues,

As I presented at RIPE 89 and RIPE 90, I'd like to propose to allow UTF-8 encoded characters in "descr:" and "remarks:" attributes.

Is there support for adding UTF-8 in the RIPE database? Please let me know your feedback.
