ByteLen() and Unicode

[msu]

Under Windows10 x64:

Code: Select all

SetDefaultEncoding(#ENCODING_UTF8, #ENCODING_UTF8)
a$ = "H"
DebugPrint(ByteLen(a$))

Normally, the result should be 4 bytes.

According to ByteLen, a$ is only 1 byte in size.

Huh? "H" is one byte in UTF-8... this isn't UTF-32...

I should have looked at the utf8 table before.
Only from position 128, the characters are 2 bytes in size ....
