Icecast - Nov 2016 - Current Song: utf-8

My app is sending utf-8 encoded metadata via the /admin URL interface but
the Icecast web page displays it as ascii.

Playing the stream in Winamp correctly displays Chinese characters.

Is this not supported?

Please have a look at the docs, 
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#mountsettings

There is the mount specific `charset` option, which you can to use to 
specify the encoding for the
legacy metadata.

I would rather not specify the names of mount points as I use different and
random mount names specified at the encoder.  So there is no global method to
specify utf-8.  I thought I read that was the default character encoding for
Icecast.
