I noted in the earlier thread the distiction between UTF-
16 and double byte unicode.  Does this really mean that 
utf-8 is just put, byte x byte, into a short integer, as 
opposed to conversion to unicode for ucs-2?
what converts directly from utf-8 to unicode and does 
that require a change to the header?
