To be honest, I didn't try.  It asks to verify that all strings are UTF-8, 
and I didn't have time to do so.  I just looked at the changelog and the 
last annotation said something relevant to character sets, so I backed it 
out.

I just did try it now, and adding the prefix seems to work, but I did not 
verify the encoding of all messages beyond that.
