Unless your mail program is badly broken, it'll encode UTF-8 or other non-ASCII text in address comments (aka friendly from aka real names) using MIME encoded-words so the message as sent and received only contains ASCII. All of the MUAs I know, even rather old ones like Alpine, automatically decode the MIME and show you the text.
