because string[index] returns a byte value, not a character value: see
":help expr8". If the character at the cursor is > U+007F, you'll get
the first byte (in the range 0xC0-0xFD, or in practice in the range
0xC0-0xF4) of its UTF-8 representation.
The _character_ at the cursor is obtained as follows:
let i0 = byteidx(getline('.'), virtcol('.') - 1)
let i1 = byteidx(getline('.'), virtcol('.'))
let character = strpart(getline('.'), i0, i1 - 10)
