I somehow thought that with UTF-8 you were limited to a part of

I equated Unicode with UTF-32.
This is what completely warped my vision. It's good to learn something
new everyday, I guess.
I think many people viewed Unicode this way at first. But there is a
metric ton of cool info out there if you want to get to know more
about unicode
I will, but not yet. I've a few books on parsing and compilers to read
before that.
I just read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html,
though, and I'm a bit disappointed that char 7 (\u007) does not make
my computer beep. I remember now having my computer beep on char 7
during the 80s when ASCII was the only thing that existed.
Once you have time to learn some unicode, check out this page:
http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/index.jsp
I've found these tools to be incredibly useful.
