Hej August!

> busybox's is not as long

Who cares?  You've got more than required to make the cut especially
considering;

> UTF-8
> UTF8

If whoever compiled the busybox you currently have, built in utf8 support then
this should tell the tale;

$ echo -e "A M\uf8\uf8se once bit my sister ..."

You might not be able to read them properly but they *should* output the
correct codes if indeed your busybox is up to the task.

Het leven is goed,
