But then I wonder what happens to searches like "résumé" ?? Should I support dictionary lookups on words in other languages? Spanish for example has words like "tú".

And that presents another error altogether. If I ask dict to look up such a word for me, it complains... "error: The request is not a valid UTF-8 string". But that error isn't a Perl-related I don't think. Or is it? Do I need to escape unicode in a special way before dict-ing for words that contain it?
