Yes, now I see it. The same happens in Czech language, speechd-el doesn't send the
characters (at least with the KEY command) in UTF-8 in SSIP, but in the original
charset. This problem doesn't appear with longer messages sent through the SPEAK command,
these are correctly in UTF-8. Could you Milan look at it please? I'm not familiar with
speechd-el enough.

Thank you for spotting this, there needs to be a safe test for this case.
