Yes, for extensions.

The Zaptel Caller ID names are similar to Ascii...

Since we're a multiprotocol PBX we need to be able to convert from a  
to the
various protocol formats.

The Alphanumeric extensions aren't a topic for conversion though.
We can't convert them, since a converted string is
not the same extension and might collide with an existing extension.

Now, if we have UTF8 extensions - what about CDR and log files?
Does all the databases we support in realtime and CDR handle utf8?
Radius?

This is a lot of fun.
