How can it be, given that it doesn't allow access to all unicode 
characters? It by definition can't, since true unicode requires a 
'section' code, followed by a 'character' code, of *always* two bytes. 
UTF8 treats only specific characters as a 'section' code, so part of the 
unicode set if unavailable. Unless I am completely missing something... 
But I have seen people complain before about how they can't use some 
character with POV-Ray and the reason always given is that UTF8 doesn't 
support them. If I am wrong, then why does this problem crop up all the 
time?
