Hallo Paul!

PQ> Does this make any sense to you?

Sort of.  However in this case the most important is the retention of the
trailing 0x8d byte.  Once that has been stripped then none of the four
multibyte characters are multibyte anymore and only the four leading bytes
remain.

I suppose it is possible help but again, in this case, there are only four
bytes that *need* to be there in order for it to be a true utf8 message.  They
can be readily searched for in a text file.  In fact for a regular 8-bit
codepage the 0x8d character will also get deleted.  This is not unique to utf8.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
