I think this is the ideal solution - give magiterm the ability to switch and then leave it up to the BBS for implementing details like "if you see some character here, press 1 for cp437, if you see this other thing, press 2 for utf8". But yeah, opening up utf8/utf16 would really increase the available charactersets for making doorgames and stuff as well.

Thanks for your reply btw! I also installed Talisman today for the first time to experiment with. Cheers.
