Thanks Robert.    I am puzzled because I thought that utf8  IS the
default charset for java.   Is that incorrect? 

How difficult would it be to change Rats! to read utf8 files?

For our purpose, it will be much easier to incorporate utf8 text in
the rats file rather than represent it as escaped hex.
