Passwords with Unicode characters

Title: Signature
We have run into a 'funny' when using the password_modify plugin we get an unexpected result in trying to set a password. The password used had a '£' (British Pund Symbol) in it. The server accepted the password but would not allow the use of the same string to log in. I suspect that the passwords are being 8th bit stripped. Is this possible, correct, and what should happen?

Is there any facility to set a Unicode string as a password. If so what format (UTF-8, UTF-16[BE|LE], ...) should it take.

Regards, Howard
