Your question is not really meaningful. Tcl 8.0.5 is (almost) 8-bit
clean and assumes that all characters from \x01 to \x7e map are the
respective ASCII chars, but it is otherwise largely oblivious of
encoding. It just passes the characters through. The "almost" is because
it does not support NULs in array variable names (and a few other places
that are unlikely to be problems for anyone) but everything else should
be fine.
But 8.0.5 is old. Really old. Why use it? 8.4 is faster *and* supported!
