and to show you AGAIN how flawed your "direct index access to a character" example is. How is that 'Öse' entered into the system. Is the Ö a U+00D6 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS or U+004F LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O with U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS or what if the Ö was a "character" above the BMP. MyChar would only hold the first part (2 bytes) of a surrogate pair (4 bytes). Oops! You are thinking in terms of ANSI, *not* Unicode.
