You can workaround getB an setB functions, but simplified chinese
characters use GB18030 encoding that contains character beyond bmp. J
only supports 2 byte ucs (iso 10646?) so that not all characters can
be handled by J and this limitation can not be workaround by user
code, thus you are bound to be cut out unfortunately.
