UTF-8 is an encoding scheme that is intended to allow Unicode communication between separate processes over 8-bit channels. For that it is great, but that's about the only thing it is really good for. UTF-8 processing is cumbersome, and as such it is completely unsuitable format to use for the piecetable. We need a fixed with encoding for that, such as the curent UCS-2, i.e., UTF-32. Tomas
