Problems with UTF8

[Mark Smith]

Damien, if I understand things correctly, you shouldn't have any  
issues with endianness when working with UTF8.

Endianness will only affect you when you deal with unicode (UTF16)  
from outside your system, because it could be UTF16BE or UTF16LE, and  
as far as I can tell, Rev always treats unicode strings as having the  
endianness of the the system it's running on, so it may be necessary  
to swap the pairs of bytes.

  Best,

Mark
