Unfortunately, certain versions of screen do require the '-U', even if the default encoding is set properly.</p> Mathie, thank you for your comment.

I know it's a bit of a taboo subject but I wonder how TextMate 2.0 is coming along and if support for multi-byte characters is on the near horizon.

I don't think anybody expects to write actual code in Japanese or even Arabic but it is needed for commenting code (reading and writing) and rendering strings for labels and such. Would be nice if multi-byte characters just use regular NSTextView or whatever if that's a feasible solution.

I didn't buy TextMate for this but it is nice to have and am well aware of the challenge posed by encoding based on your previous elaborations for a brilliant award-winning Cocoa developer.

Regarding your article on getting UTF-8 support in screen, I think that you can put the following in ~/.screenrc:

defencoding UTF-8

which will set the default encoding for windows to UTF-8 and save you having to remember to pass in '-U'. At least it seems to work for me.
