By converting sip.conf into UTF-8 I manged to display german Umlaute äöü 
on a SNOM 360 softphone. But I had no luck with háček like ǎ. But I 
think this is a limitation of the SNOM phone.

Obviously Asterisk treat the UTF-8 encoding just as characters and send 
them without knowing that is is unicode. Is it safe to use UTF-8 encoded 
configuration files?
