When connecting, there's some extra gargage characters:
```
Synchronet BBS for Linux Version 3.20 Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell

```
This doesn't happen on the master branch.

The @WIDE:text@ code isn't working on this branch:
```
;echo
Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
TEXT
```
Weird that it's converting to uppercase.

While on the master branch:
```
;echo
Parameter(s): @WIDE:text@
t e x t
```

What client are you using to test UTF-8 functionality?

I'm using Windows Terminal->ssh to Linux, then telnet to the BBS. Or just Windows Terminal->ssh to the BBS.

Interestingly, I don't see the garbage data on my system.

Also interesting is that on cvs, `Synchronet BBS for Win32 Version 3.20 Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell` is centered in the window, but on vert it's centered on 80 columns.

Ah, that's the double-width `V E R T R A U E N ` getting clobbered... curious how that's output...

Ah, it uses @WIDE, so should also be fixed.

Yes, the WIDE "VERTRAUEN" appears fixed now for UTF-8.
