I have implemented UTF8-encode/decode. Unlike the code someone has already
posted it handles all UTF8 sequences, including those longer than 3 bytes.
It also catches all illegal UTF8 sequences (such as characters encoded
with a longer sequence than necessary). Here is the code.

parse.
However, the character type seems perfectly happy with larger values for

The gtk2hs library uses the following functions internally.
