Yeah, I didn't think that would work. :) If you're reading this as I am, all the (well most of) text below ended up as ??. In actuality, every ?? was a single width. The first line contains 16 characters with 32 hex bytes underneath. The subsequent lines are all a single character with 2 hex bytes shown. You can type in 3-byte UTF-8 codes, but they won't show anything in the text fields.
