Hi, Cyril and Tony,
Thanks.
Tony's right. I just tested Cyril's solution. Unfortunately, when
encoding=utf8 and fileencoding=cp936, line: "let char =
matchstr(getline("."), ".", col(".") - 1)" can only get the *FIRST*
8-bit out of a 2-byte cp936-encoded Chinese character. (To my
surprise, the hex value of the first 8-bit converted by iconv is
correct in cp936 encode standard. I just realized that iconv can just
convert a part of one Chinese Character.:)
I am trying to see if I can read the whole 2-byte Chinese char out or not.
Thanks,
Zhaojun

No! The very goal of this code is that `encodig` is utf-8 while
`fileencoding` is different. But you are right noting that I have not
tested this `fileencoding` other than 8-bit one -- except the marginal
case when it is utf-8 too. But again -- `encoding` *is* multibyte and
it works. Why not just to test? I haven't Chinese fonts installed...
