I'd love it if UTF-8 were the default character set for all of Fidonet. But the reality is that it isn't. It did not look OK here until I manually forced UTF-8.

Until it someday becomes the default charset ;-)
Which is already the case in most of the digital world. But not in Fidonet that for a large part runs on software born decades ago. Most message readers used in Fidonet do not even support UTF-8, let alone use it as default.
So for the time being, we will have to use a CHRS kludge for anything beyond pure ASCII...
