On the first system I tried (our Linux build machines),
osl_getThreadTextEncoding (which is what "System" evaluates to) gave me
RTL_TEXTENCODING_ISO_8859_1 ...

Cutting 8-byte-characters respecting UTF-8 boundaries would probably be
possible. The problem then is that terms like "field length" then lose their
meaning: If a column is declared to have a length of n characters, this
translates to m or i or k or whatever UTF-8-encoded characters, depending on the
concrete string to be encoded.This will most probably lead to bug reports of the
kind "I entered 20 characters and the last 5 silently disappeared". How to solve
this?
