Please, everybody, read the definition of UTF-8 before making these claims that it supports an encoding structure wider than 31 bits. (And please read the statements of WG2 and Unicode concerning expansion beyond U+10FFFD.) UTF-8 seems to have taken on a mystical quality whereby it can now provide food for the starving, shelter for the homeless, etc. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
