Hi

Sorry for this elementary question, but I can't find an answer googling.

Is it possible to have a password that contains UTF8 chars, like Arabic,
Hebrew, Chinese or some IPA symbols??? That concerns also gpgsm

Regards

You can put whatever you want as password, also Russian in UTF-8. The
question is beeing able to key it in on any keyboard.

Thanks, most of the distributions today come with a variety of keyboards
for different input methods. To be on the very safe side you could save
the password UFT8 in a password manager.
