Hi everyone. Can MikroTik display characters other than Latin script on the terminal screen?

NO.

You can try with external-non-winbox SSH client that support ansi-8bit.
RouterOS do not support at all 2 (or more) bytes charset like UTF-8 or UCS-2

My parents aren't smart enough to do that. I was hoping that since it is impossible to read them in the SMS tool window, then at least in the terminal it can be done.

I was hoping cp1251 was being printed. After all, ascii 127 characters, and in Mikrotik in the terminal 255, along with unreadable characters, it is sewn
At the same time, Mikrotik reads the names of files in any languages, it may be possible to read the contents of a global variable in the national language.
Even the Chinese clones of the Italian Arduino reproduce national symbols, but Mikrotik cannot. Are they perverts?

The SSH terminal on a Mac and Ubuntu (like other Linux too) will display UTF-8 e.g. emojis, so imagine rest of unicode be similar :
:put "\F0\9F\A7\90"
🧐

For windows, perhaps a "Shortcut" to the SSH from WSL+Ubuntu work to see the unicode from Mikrotik.
