I wrote a patch[0] for mg which sort of adds Unicode support a while back via wchar_t. Upstream interest was low, as they were just about to release 6.0 and I got the impression they'd rather write it themselves, but as far as I can tell it works. At the very least, it could be used as a guide towards which parts of mg need to be ripped out and rewritten. [0] https://github.com/hboetes/mg/tree/display-wide-characters -- S. Gilles
