Sorry.  I can see you mean E4B88A in UTF-8 which is 4E0A in UTF-16.  
And E4B88D in UTF-8 which is 4E0D in UTF-16.

And those would be C9CF and B2BB in simplified Chinese.  Well, assuming 
I'm using the uniDecode() function right; I'm still figuring this out.  
I looked on a simplified Chinese (GB2312-80) table and that looked 
right.  Those looked the same as the unicode characters.

I used uniEncode() to convert back and the resulting code looks OK.

So, unicode functions look OK to me.

I did notice the 0A and 0D pattern above and those remind me of ASCII 
LF and CR.  Coincidence?  Clue?  It seems uniEncode() seems to handle 
ASCII mixed with simplified Chinese, so I would guess coincidence.
