Does that Russian character have a surrogate pair? Remember that you can't use mystring[i] even for UTF-16 encoded text, because that will *not* check if you are working with the first or second part of a surrogate pair. The index reference idea might work for USC2 (like in MSEgui), which only supports 2-byte characters, but it is not true for UTF-16 (correctly implemented). If Ivanko can share the original text and test code, I would like to test myself. I also bet that they use indexed references into the text, and disregard surrogate pairs (thus not fully supporting UTF-16) - like most programmers do.
