The wordlist can contain native characters, but they have to be encoded using UTF-8.
The wordlist can contain native characters, but they have to be encoded in UTF-8

==From mnemonic to seed==
@ -86,8 +87,8 @@ A user may decide to protect their mnemonic by passphrase. If a passphrase is no
present, an empty string "" is used instead.
To create a binary seed from the mnemonic, we use PBKDF2 function with a mnemonic
sentence (in UTF-8) used as a password and string "mnemonic" + passphrase (again
in UTF-8) used as a salt. Iteration count is set to 2048 and HMAC-SHA512 is used as
sentence (in UTF-8 NFKD) used as a password and string "mnemonic" + passphrase (again
in UTF-8 NFKD) used as a salt. Iteration count is set to 2048 and HMAC-SHA512 is used as
a pseudo-random function. Desired length of the derived key is 512 bits (= 64 bytes).
This seed can be later used to generate deterministic wallets using BIP-0032 or
