At the moment, UTF-8 seems like overkill to me since the ScummVM GUI
doesn't support it. Are there any plans to change that? I suppose it
could be useful for some localized versions of games.

On the other hand, for the SDL backend we'd have to convert the string
to UTF-8 anyway. In fact, that's what the patch Fingolfin mentioned does.
