They are not allowed in doudou-rewrite-ascii but allowed in
splashy-themes-doudoulinux as long as the font we're using to write text
into the image supports the corresponding UTF-8 characters. Note that
splashy-themes-doudoulinux switches of font for at least Chinese and
Cyrillic for this reason.

Anyway I noticed few weeks ago on Transifex that doudou-rewrite-ascii
has some languages with non-ASCII chars. This will break the messages in
the very first screen and then this is a bit weird. Translators should
correct them on Transifex, unless the library unaccent shows good
results on them (but who can check this in every language?).

After a week, the translations have not been corrected so I sent today a message
to each translator concerned to solicit their help.
