Hello!
Currently the in-game chatbox support entering utf-8 and some unicode (such as emojis) via the in-game keyboard.
However, if you choose to feed the chatbox via OSC, you can ONLY send ascii characters, due to utf-8 and unicode not being supported in the OSC protocol.
As a suggestion, I propose making the Chatbox OSC component automatically translate HTML character references (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references) into Unicode after receiving the OSC message, but before running the character limit check and displaying the message.
This would mean if I wanted to send the string:
頼もう！
I would send:
頼もう！
One can do this programmatically in python3 very easily:
print("頼もう！".encode('ascii', 'xmlcharrefreplace').decode())
The resulting HTML character entities themselves are guaranteed to be in all ASCII, and therefore be OSC compliant!
