[Sks-devel] OpenPGP and Unicode

Hi,

I have noticed that many keyservers - especial their web interfaces -
have problems with correctly displaying UIDs containing characters
outside of the basic Latin script.
Sometimes it's missing/wrong charset information in the returned results
but quite often those characters are transmitted as ASCII "?" .

You can find some sample keys here:

In addition most key retrieving tool don't support international domain
names(IDN).
