New GDI printing directive supports printing UTF8-encoded print files:
//SETOPTION, UTF8
When specified, the remainder of the file is considered to be in UTF8 encoding (which is compatible with 7 bit ASCII characters (0-127), but interprets bytes with the 8th bit set as a lead-in to a multi-byte sequence supporting the entire range of UNICODE code points).
When printing files which start with the special 3 byte sequence EF EB BF, UTF8 mode is activated automatically. (This is a semi-standard protocol for identifying UTF8-encoded text files, favored by Microsoft.)
