One byte for ASCII, two to four bytes for everything else. It should last them a
very long time. Unfortunately UTF8 doesn't just include new glyphs it includes new control characters. Most things ignore them, a few throw up on them, and a precious few actually process them properly.

I take it various displays can't really handle them as they print differently when I cut and paste them from unix to windows and different applications under each system.
Depends whether these various displays are variously displaying UTF-8. You can't dump UTF-8 things in another code set and have it understoood. One glorious day, everything will be UTF-8. Until then, we have this.

BBSTORED-CERTS(8) Box Backup BBSTORED-CERTS(8)
NAME
bbstored-certs - Manage certificates for the Box Backup system
SYNOPSIS
bbstored-certs certs-dir command [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
bbstored-certs creates and signs certificates for use in Box Backup. It allows the user to create and sign the server keys, as well as
signing client keys.
All commands must be followed by the certs-dir, which is the directory in which the certificates are stored.
Commands
There are 3 commands:
init
Create the certs-dir, and generate the server keys for bbstored. certs-dir cannot exist before running the command.
sign-server servercsrfile
Sign the server certificate. The servercsrfile is the file generated by the init command.
sign clientcsrfile
Sign a client certificate. The clientcsrfile is generated during client setup. See bbackupd-config(8). Send the signed certificate back
to the client, and install according to the instructions given by bbackupd-config.
FILES
raidfile-config(8) generates the raidfile.conf(5) file.
BUGS
If you find a bug in Box Backup, and you want to let us know about it, join the mailing list[1], and send a description of the problem

To report a bug, give us at least the following information:
