Well, yes, the code would be writing UTF-8, with the knowledge of how many cells have been occupied, e.g. one for the combining `a⃞', but it could complain about the non-UTF-8 locale setting, or try and set up `fire and forget' converter on open and opening files if it was easy enough to be worth the bother.
