--- Comment #5 from J.R. Oldroyd <fbsd@opal.com> ---
(In reply to Michael Buch from comment #4)

Things work well already with UTF-8 characters in ssids.  In fact, it should
work fine as long as LC_CTYPE matches the type of data.  Gtk/pango already
convert unrecognized sequences to UTF-8 Replacement Characters.

802.11 does not define ssid contents or character set and ssids can contain=
 any
arbitrary octet sequence.  One could say that wifimgr should examine the ss=
id
octets and do something with sequences that gtk/pango will not be able to
display, but the problem is knowing what sequences are not valid when there=
 is
no way of knowing what character set (if any) the data is in.  Each received
ssid could be in different character set or be just arbitrary octets.  Ther=
e's
no need for wifimgr to check for invalid UTF-8 because gtk/pango already do=
es
that.
