What to do so that issue.net shows readable banner characters to chinese russian french ssh users

Question

I set up my ssh server and added custom issue.net config. when loggin, it shows \320\237\320\264\321.... for characters other than ascii-7

Is it a client side issue or do I manage this at server side?

It is not possible for the banner to have non-ASCII characters. ssh filters non-ascii characters and prints them as octal text. This is done for security reasons, to prevent attacks on the client by sending terminal control characters.
