I have written multilingual character ∞ directly in RADIUS server's users file.

without encoding it into UTF-8.

Do I need to write Username in user file of RADIUS server after converting it

into UTF-8 to make the whole thing work?

If Yes then How can I write UTF-8 characters into users file of RADIUS server.

Do I need to write directly the HEX of encoded characters or some other way

into the users file of RADIUS server as shown in attached users file of RADIUS server?

I have double check that the UTF-8 Encoder of mine is working fine.

Multilingual character = ∞ (infinity symbol) is having equivalent form in HEX = 0xe2889e

and UTF-8 encoding of 0xe2889e is = 0xf8 0xb8 0xa2 0x9e.

Can any one please look into to above issue

and guide me How can I configure the files of free RADIUS server

to use USER-NAME field other than US-ASCII like

It looks like the User-Name *isn't* UTF-8.
