That kind of stripping is not implemented (we could possibly add it though - do you think it is needed?). Support for a codepage means that JtR will recognize the 8-bit characters as vowels, consonants or specials and it will case shift them correctly, not only in rules but also automatically for fixed case formats like LM. And most importantly it will convert them correctly to UTF-16 when needed, most notably in the NT format.
If you use 8-bit substrings in rules, you need to store the rules file in the same codepage as your wordlists. For UTF-16 formats you can use wordlists in any supported encoding provided you tell JtR which one it is. For 8-bit formats no conversion is performed so you need to use a wordlist with the same encoding as the target hashes was made from: If you attack Croatian LM hashes you will need to use CP852.
