Err... David, I thought Java used UTF-8, actually a version slightly
different from the "typical" version that expresses:
Characters in the range \u0001 to \u007F in one byte: 0[bits 0-6]
Characters in the range \u0080 to \u07FF and \u0000 in two bytes:
110[bits 7 -10] 10[bits 0-6]
Characters in the range \u0800 to \uFFFF in three bytes: 1110[bits 12-15]
10[bits 6-11] 10[bits 0-5]
(what's different from typical is that NULL is in two bytes, so there's no
embedded nulls in java vm strings)
....
However, It has been quite a while since the last time I looked... Have
this changed in latest versions?
Best,
Fabio
