Shmuel, you know as well as I do that UTF-32 is not a privileged representation of Unicode. From the top of the very first page of their introduction: (http://www.unicode.org/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html) "What is Unicode? Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language." and later: "The Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC 10646 support three encoding forms (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32) that use a common repertoire of characters. " UTF-8 *is* Unicode, as are UTF-16 and UTF-32. Mrs Lincoln doesn't come into it.
