I need to read and process a tab-delimited text file that is in UTF8

are some HTML format tags in it as well.
If I read the file as binfile, carriage returns are all lost.
Reading it as "file:" and trying to simply convert the entire text
block has failed (and crashed) more ways than I can record here.
How do I get hundreds of lines of unicode text into an array?
At the risk of being way off base and totally goofy . . .
How about running through the UTF8 text and doing a search and replace?
The Happy Internet tells me that the END OF LINE char is UTF 16 U+000A,
UTF 8 0x0A or Decimal 10.
CR in UTF is U+000D, UTF 8 0x0D or Decimal 13.
Merry ASCII is also 10 and/or 13 (a pain in the 'btm').
