TrueCrypt devs, it’s called backwards compatibility

The recent version of TrueCrypt doesn’t allow non-US ASCII characters. This means that é ã ê à, etc, are not supported on the passphrase.

Just a little tip for the developers.

This restriction was not present on older versions of TC, so maybe, changing stuff from night to day and leaving users with no way of mounting their volumes is a bit stupid.

I seriously hope you re-evaluate. I don’t understand why this was taken out to begin with.
