Mkisofs currently does not support UTF-8 as input character set.

This would need some sort of generalized encoding support....

I am currently thinking about replacing libunls by a file based libsiconv
that will handle everything that is supported today and call libiconf
if on platforms that have libiconv and in case of an otherwise unknown
coding.

There is a patch for mkisofs that uses libiconv but it is horrobly
 nonportable and broken (even a decent c-compiler warns about potential core
 dumps). Due to the low quality of this patch and the fact that it's authors
 are not interested in fixing the problems, I need to implement decent code
 myself.

As you may have noticed, I am currently overhauling mkisofs and I am trying
to fix hundreds of more important problems that have been in mkisofs since
it's early days (before I become the maintainer). After the fixing period
is over and after I did implement multi-extent files (needed to have
files >= 4 GB), iconv support is planned. Meanwhile use ISO-8859-1.
