I was told that the W3M browser doesn't display Unicode characters correctly, but more importantly, I noticed that it strips them during saves. It should be added to the blacklist for the Unicode workaround.

First of all I presume you're talking about multibyte characters because ASCII is also a subset of unicode (and there are other single-byte characters besides the ASCII characters).
* What version of w3m is this? * What platform is it running on? * What are the language & locale settings?
It seems to be a user problem and not a w3m problem, I was able to correctly save one, two, three and four byte characters on my MediaWiki installation using w3m/0.5.1+cvs-1.938 and the en_US.utf8 locale using a utf8 xterm, however running the browser with a non-unicode locale (such as C) results in it saving incorrect characters.
