I know only two telnet bbs software systems that use Utf8 rather than classic 8-bit codepages mentioned here. If anyone would like to see art try them out: 1984.ws (mine, Python) and htc.zapto.org (a friends, C++). Haven't tried it yet but it should work. I too am dissapointed that recent ascii and cp437/"ansi art" continues to be released in old MSDOS encodings rather than UTF8, I guess mainly because the editors like pablodraw don't support it. The bbs and art scene is a very closed source community, so these things really can't change very easily even if we wanted them too--folks like myself had to write entirely new software rather than contribute changes to existing.
