[REBOL] Re: utf8-encode

R>   nobody has utf8-encoder?
R>   probably will have to write one by myself

ok... why there is NO native right/left shift function in Rebol?!

here is how utf8 works:
putwchar(c)
{
  if (c < 0x80) {
    putchar (c);
  }
  else if (c < 0x800) {
    putchar (0xC0 | c>>6);
    putchar (0x80 | c & 0x3F);
  }
  else if (c < 0x10000) {
    putchar (0xE0 | c>>12);
    putchar (0x80 | c>>6 & 0x3F);
    putchar (0x80 | c & 0x3F);
  }
  else if (c < 0x200000) {
    putchar (0xF0 | c>>18);
    putchar (0x80 | c>>12 & 0x3F);
    putchar (0x80 | c>>6 & 0x3F);
    putchar (0x80 | c & 0x3F);
  }
}

and here is my Rebol version:
