The UTF-8 format

The ASCII characters 0-7f are identical with their UTF-8 representation. Any characters beyond that range will be encoded using 2 bytes (80-7ff) or 3 bytes (800-ffff). If 2 or 3 bytes are used, the second and third byte will always have a value between 80 and BF:
0 - 7f
0aaaaaaa
80 - 7ff
110aaaaa
10bbbbbb
7ff - ffff
1110aaaa
10bbbbbb
10cccccc

A UTF/UCS converter in Scheme

updated for PocketScheme 0.4.0 This is a very basic (and clumsily programmed) converter for UTF/UCS. It runs in PocketScheme. It can be used for sending/receiving mail in UTF (that is, any language). 

Its primary use was to support mail in UTF-8. By now, this support has been added to PocketOutlook with Microsofts' SP-1 for CE 2.11.

PocketScheme is a free Scheme implementation with SIOD anchestry for CE devices by Ben Goetter. Scheme is a Lisp dialect. The pscheme project is progressing steadily, meanwhile it is possible to call the CE API from within a Scheme script. Unicode is supported. IMHO, it's the only alternative to programming in C++ for CE devices.
