Subject: Re: John rules with utf8 chars?

Yes, but the rules preprocessor and the rules themselves work on
individual bytes, so you shouldn't list multi-byte characters in a
preprocessor expression (the square brackets in your example) nor in
commands that expect individual characters (but the "A" commands you use
here will happily accept what they think are multi-character strings).
You can do:
[List.Rules:Currency]
Az"\xc2\xa3"
Az"\xe2\x82\xac"
or you can just type those characters in like you did if you're working
with UTF-8 directly, like most people do these days. You just can't
combine these two rules into one line with the preprocessor.
