I would imagine because nano is using your locale, which in most cases is
UTF-8 these days. If you have a locale installed where you are able to view
high ascii in your terminal, then you could set your locale to that while
running nano, and then set it back when it's done. Above and beyond that, I
don't believe nano supports ansi codes, so you won't be able to view ansi
regardless.

You're just full of all sorts of correct assumptions these days, aren't you? ;)
