5. UTF-8 support
===================
As of version 1.88b, SlyEdit is able to accept UTF-8 character/text input. This
allows inputting a wider range of characters, but one limitation is that if the
user's terminal is UTF-8, high-ASCII characters (with numeric values 129-255)
can't be entered. Even when using the graphic character input (with Ctrl-G),
those characters will be translated to a different character for UTF-8. However,
if the user is not using a UTF-8 terminal, though (i.e., their terminal uses
CP437), those characters can be entered.
