Package: calcurse
Version: 2.7-1
Severity: important

I am tagging this as important as UTF-8 is the default charset for
new systems, feel free adjust. 

calcurse does not support UTF-8, as stated on 
http://culot.org/calcurse/manual_en.html

| Note: It is also possible to link calcurse against the ncursesw library
| (ncurses with support for unicode). However, UTF-8 is not yet 
| supported by calcurse.

For now, I added an alias to call calcurse as follows: 
| LANG=C calcurse

but this is merely a workaround and does not work with non-ascii 
characters.

Please add UTF-8 support.
