I suggest you read up on UTF-8. You really don't understand

Not being aware of this shortcut doesn't mean not understanding
UTF-8.
It's not just a shortcut, it is absolutely fundamental to the
design of UTF-8. It's like saying you understand Lisp without
being aware that everything is a list.
Also, you continuously keep stating disadvantages to UTF-8 that
are completely false, like "slicing does require decoding".
Again, completely missing the point of UTF-8. I cannot conceive
how you can claim to understand how UTF-8 works yet repeatedly
demonstrating that you do not.
You are either ignorant or a successful troll. In either case,
I'm done here.
