UTF-8 issues with terminal-abstraction branch

When connecting, there's some extra gargage characters:

                                 Synchronet BBS for Linux  Version 3.20  Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell

      6%242!5%.                                   ░

This doesn't happen on the master branch.

The @WIDE:text@ code isn't working on this branch:

;echo
Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
TEXT

Weird that it's converting to uppercase.

While on the master branch:

;echo
Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
ｔｅｘｔ

What client terminal emulator are you using to test UTF-8 functionality?

I'm using Windows Terminal->ssh to Linux, then telnet to the BBS. Or just Windows Terminal->ssh to the BBS.

Interestingly, I don't see the garbage data on my system.

Also interesting is that on cvs, Synchronet BBS for Win32 Version 3.20 Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell is centered in the window, but on vert it's centered on 80 columns.

Ah, that's the double-width ＶＥＲＴＲＡＵＥＮ getting clobbered... curious how that's output...

$ hd /sbbs/text/banner.c80.msg

Ah, it uses @WIDE, so should also be fixed.

Yes, the WIDE "VERTRAUEN" appears fixed now for UTF-8.

Fixed.
