There's nothing inherent about Poky / OpenEmbedded that means it doesn'=
t=20
support Unicode. Individual pieces of software might have difficulties =
however.=20
I just copied over a text file containing "Schr=C3=B6dinger's =F0=9F=98=
=BB" (i.e. one German=20
character and one special one) in UTF-8 to a core-image-sato image. The=
 file=20
doesn't display properly in the matchbox-terminal application (displayi=
ng=20
garbage, indicating the encoding is incorrect), however in Notes (leafp=
ad) it=20
displays the =C3=B6 but not the =F0=9F=98=BB (displaying a single box w=
ith hex code instead,=20
indicating that the font is missing that special character).

FYI I read this article recently and found it very useful - you may alr=
eady=20
know some or all of this, but just in case:
