Hello Helmut,

I works on this problem some time ago. Actually there is no problem to
teach BlackBox compiler russian identifiers. And symbol files can use
utf8-encoded info without any modifications.

But main problem - code files, Loader and Kernel module. In BlackBox
code files acts as image files, mapped directly into memory, with small
fixes applied after loading. But code files cannot store unicode
characters. So we must teach StdLoader to make some conversion during
load process. Or change code files format to direct support unicode
entities. And teach StdLoader to make conversion of old code files.

In any cases we must rewrite StdLoader (and some parts of Kernel) - and
I am not a Hero to do this

P.S. Sorry for my "english". I hope you can understand my explanations
