No - as stated somewhere in the Game Guide, no "foreign" ASCII as that can cause a hard crash. It must be USA (and UK etc) English ASCII, no umlauts or cidillas or graves etc. The game uses old-style 1 byte character US ASCII, not modern Windows format International wide characters.

It may be that on a comuter with the correct national keyboard and other stuff that it can work, but the usual result to others who dont have the correct character set installed is a crash or lock-up if trying to display non-English ASCII.
