CUE Files unicode Encoding

Can we standardize the encoding of CUE files to UTF-8 to prevent incompatibilite in multiple players and tools not being able to load the cue file correctly, I found this a problem in quite a few russian digitizations.
I understand that I can simply convert them but when I first time facing this issue I have spent about an hour wondering why a correct cue file won't load till I made a new file and copied it in it and realized it by chance it's an encoding issue, I think doing this will be helpful to a lot of people in the future.
