If and only if uEFI provides such or you ignore text calls in VESA mode.

I think we need to move Syslinux to UTF-8 throughout; we already have to
have Unicode to codepage tables for VFAT and Unix filesystems are more
likely to be in UTF-8 at this stage.

I can't but agree. But here is what Ann Landers wrote in Ann Landers Column
(Chicago Tribune, January 10, 1997):

---
"This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and
Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do
it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody
wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could
have done."

Oh, and please don't look at me: I'd be pleased to help but but
don't speak C :(

Take care,
