Currently, Clio filters out any input character above ASCII 127.
The reason for this is that the MUD for which Clio was originally
written filters out these characters anyway, so I just stopped 
Clio from sending them to save a little bandwidth.

I can easily remove this filter, but I'll need to check that the 
ncurses screen handling code can cope with them. I'll try to find
some time to look at it over the next week or two. 

Is it possible for me to login to your MUD to test it?

There is only one source code, which is used to build all the different
versions, so any change will automatically appear in all versions.
