About localisation and unicode support

[thghca]

Marlin has no proper support of unicode filenames but maybe useful for localisations.

Dgus text controls has encoding=unicode. It accepts utf16.
caveat: first char byte can be 00, so no null-terminate C-style strings.

I haven't looked at the Marlin support for utf16 yet. I wasn`t planning to add support for non-latin languages. I will take a look at what is supported in Marlin when I get to work on it in a few months.

No luck with unicode. =(
But i successfully made screen display Russian with 8bit ascii mode using win1251 encoding.

Interesting. To work with other languages as well, the screen firmware will have to be setup correctly and the transfer of the text to the screen as well. I know this part only supports 8bits for now.
