Not sure what you code is doing, and you aren’t showing how you are getting
your 'é' into SQLite, but U+FFFD is the standard character for malformed data,
so something somewhere is complaining about converting something into UTF-8.
Also, you CAN’T have a UTF-8 value like 0xC3A9, as that is not a byte value.
U+00E9 expressed in UTF-8 would be 0xC3, 0xA9 (Two separate bytes), if you try
to talk about it in some bigger word you are no longer talking UTF-8, and
introducing all sorts of machine specifies (Big vs Little Endian, word size,
etc).
