P.S. Does utf8 support surrogates? Surrogate pair is definitely the
ugliest SOB of Unicode but without it, we can't print
\x{8000}-\x{10ffffff} to the stream....
UTF-8 does not _need_ to support surogates - it can do full range
without them. What you have to beware of is UTF-8 encoding codepoints
in the surogate range, rather than de-surogating and encoding the
real code point.
The fixed UCS-2BE works for Tk - but is still a little slower than
it could be. I suggest we do UTF-16XE properly as XS code.
