What are future plans about utf-8?

What are future plans about utf-8?

[Ilya Kuznecov]

As far as I know, now zsh doesn't support utf-8 (or other Unicode 
implementations). Anybody works in this global area?

I can be tester (LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 for example).

Sorry in advance if it is offtopic ;-)

I'd also be very interested in UTF-8 support.

Me too (that would be LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 for me, but I sometimes use
non-ASCII characters in the command line).

Lots of people would, but there's less interest in (or more probably
less time available for) working on it.

Phillip Vandry has volunteered to do some changes to zle, and there is
now local support by Oliver for printing Unicode characters, but apart
from that it has been largely talk so far.
