Indigenous languages and instant messaging

[Keola Donaghy]

I've been doing UTF-8 in Hawaiian with friends and colleagues for a  
few years using a couple different Mac Clients - iChat, Yahoo and  
Adium with no problems. Haven't tested with anyone on the Win side,  
but would be happy to if someone would like to try. Have also been  
doing it in Twitter and Jaiku and people on the Win side they can see  
the Hawaiian as well.
