Parse Error: Illegal character in input file, value is ef.

Returned from renderer with error status

The input file in question is as follows (the file is encoded with utf8:
"\u3061\u3087\u3073\u3064\u30C4",
"\u30D5\u30EB\u30E0\u30FC\u30F3\u6E80\U6708\u3092\u2055\u304C\u3057\u3066"
EOF

But wait, it gets even better!  When I save the file with ansi encoding,
it does, in fact, render...

...but...

the fonts I wish to use are "C:\\windows\\fonts\\msgothic.ttc" and
"C:\\windows\\fonts\\msmincho.ttc"

which should interpret the above listed utf8 codes as (in this order)

double quote, hiragana chi, hiragana small yo, hiragana bi, hirigana
tsu, katakana tsu, double quote, comma, katakana fu, katkana ru,
katakana mu, hiragana/katakana prolonged sond mark, katakana n, unified
CJK ideograph 'full', unified CJK ideograph 'moon', hiragana wo,
hiragana sa, hiragana ga, hiragana shi, hiragana te, double quote
EOF

guess what it doesn't do.  try it yourself.  then tell me again how
POV supports unicode.
