    From Rob Swindell@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Friday, March 28, 2025 11:02:42
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/895

    When connecting, there's some extra gargage characters:
    ```
    Synchronet BBS for Linux Version 3.20 Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell

    6%242!5%. â–‘
    ```
    This doesn't happen on the master branch.

    The @WIDE:text@ code isn't working on this branch:
    ```
    ;echo
    Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
    TEXT
    ```
    Weird that it's converting to uppercase.

    While on the master branch:
    ```
    ;echo
    Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
    ｔｅｘｔ
    ```

    What client are you using to test UTF-8 functionality?

    I'm using Windows Terminal->ssh to Linux, then telnet to the BBS. Or just Windows Terminal->ssh to the BBS.

    Interestingly, I don't see the garbage data on my system.

    Also interesting is that on cvs, `Synchronet BBS for Win32 Version 3.20 Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell` is centered in the window, but on vert it's centered on 80 columns.

    Ah, that's the double-width `ＶＥＲＴＲＡＵＥＮ` getting clobbered... curious how that's output...

    Ah, it uses @WIDE, so should also be fixed.

    Yes, the WIDE "VERTRAUEN" appears fixed now for UTF-8.
