Yes, it does.

You might be able to view them, if your terminal is still UTF-8. But I think I
remember you changing your locale to CP850 now, so sure it's probably doubtful
you can view much of any UTF-8.

You can display utf-8 correctly if you terminals, locale, and charset settings
are just right. The only issue I have is the CP437 line/box drawing characters
when converted to UTF-8 just wrap early because they are converted to multiple
bytes. They do display correctly, though.

Most of this was already covered in the GOLDED echo, and is probably off topic
here. I heard the moderator rules with an iron fist. ;)

Regards,
Nick
