Summary:  cannot type UTF8 characters in symbolatoms

Initial Comment:
since Pd-0.43 patches can handle UTF-8 characters. great!

unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work when typing in symbolboxes.

example:
 i switch to a russian(DOS) keyboard layout
 i create a message box and type the keys 'asd' which correctly shows up as 'ыфв'
 i create a symbolgatom and type the keys 'asd' which incorrectly show up as 'DK2'

note: sending a [symbol ыфв( to the symbolgatom, will correctly display it.

it seems like the keyboard input sanitation code for the symbolbox perverts my input.
