Yes, that's what i mean.

But RFC says dict should use UTF/ascii7 for encoding, żdon't you think it
would be much better for compatibility to prevent people from using/building
Latin-1 dictionaries and --locale?. Many people don't have a utf-capable
xterm, but they can use dictl.

Yes, sorry. Probably it happens with the rest of dict-freedict-* packages, but
i didn't test it.
