Hmm, that could in fact be useful for dealing with Unix software that
*expects* all accented characters in configuration files to be coded in
UTF8 - I've currently resorted to looking each one up individually every
time I need to enter it!

(I have a feeling that Zap actually handles UTF8 natively?)



In fact, cutting and pasting Cyrillic text into search boxes doesn't
work as expected anyway -- it displays correctly within the writable
icon, but clearly isn't transmitted in a form that the remote receiver
can interpret. So it's back to transliteration, which I find incredibly
difficult (I keep instinctively typing B when I mean V and C when I mean
S, and all the reverse mistakes that people make when trying to read
Cyrillic!)
