Hey, 

new guy here (run a maximus bbs 25 years ago and return as im old :-)

Setting up Mystic on Linux (Debian 11) and running some test if
that BBS system meets my expectations (beautiful  pice of software 
so far). So I run it atm out the box.

First in CP437 Mode ("Default Code Page" and "Ask Code page" to „CP437“) and  access with CP437 Settings (via syncterm, putty, iterm2) everything is working fine and look nice.

Switch to UTF8 (settings on Mystic and in terminal as well)
Still ALL is working fine, looks nice and feels good.

Till I try to type in special Character like ü,ä,ö,§. That Display
on screen as  üäö

that happen everywhere. So in Login Screen for name, 
in config Mode (path settings), when writing a Massages.
even in texteditor (./mystic -text). even in local Mode

Sound like sending UTF8 TO the BBS is not working 
or still expected CP437. As when I switch my UTF8 session to 
to CP437 the chars working instantly (but as well well the rest is ugly as
BBS sending in UTF8.

Bug Future ? Only affect me ? 

greets from Germany.
