We need to fix them, that's all.

Ability to work with utf-8 texts and filenames out of box. I won't
mention how important this is nowadays.

This is to be handled individually for each port. If there are 8bit
characters in comments, these can be converted right away. If unicode
support is required from application and it has the support, it can be
converted. If it has no support, it's not converted and warning is
added. I think that's obvious.
