  34 <!--beginarticle-->
  35 <PRE>     There have been a couple of requests for Services to handle nicknames
  36 and channel names in non-English (non-ASCII) character sets.  However, I
  37 went and took a look at a couple of IRC servers (Unreal, Hybrid) that are
  38 supposed to have multiple charset support, and both seem to handle case
  39 translation (upper/lower case) the same way as other IRC servers do.
  40 (I also saw that hybrid-ru does case translation of non-ASCII characters,
  41 but as it's not a general algorithm it's better dealt with by a separate
  42 protocol module, which I'll look into separately if there's a need for it.)
  43
  44      Is there anyone who uses non-ASCII character sets with Services, and
  45 if so, what problems (if any) have you had that are not ircd-related?
