The solution to this problem is to use the "\uXXXX" format in the msgcat
files for characters outside the ASCII range. This has the additional
advantage that the msg files still contain only ASCII characters, so they
work with whatever channel encoding is used when reading the msgfile.

Here is a patch for Carsten Zerbst's MSGedit with the changes I made.
Are there already any Japanese, Korean or Chinese contributors who could
possibly benefit from this?
