+   What should CLI application do if it receives nickname that it cannot
+   display without messing up the terminal?  If UTF-8 is mandatory in
+   SILC then SILC clients cannot be allowed to start on terminals that do
+   not support UTF-8 (which renders 98% of users unable to use CLI SILC
+   app without hacking their environment).  See also site
