+---
+
+Hello fellow Irssi users,
+
+We are planning to remove 8-bit and Chinese support from Irssi.
+
+Interaction with legacy IRC channels would still be provided through /recode, as it is currently.
+
+However, Irssi would stop working on non-UTF-8 terminals (or at least appear heavily glitched)
+
+If you have any helpful comments or concerns about this topic, please raise your voice either in the [GitHub issue 671](https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/671) or by writing an [e-mail](https://github.com/irssi). We're especially interested to learn about people who are still using the 8-bit support and why you would not be able to move to Unicode.
+
+Thank you for your support,
+
+The Irssi Team.
