Please, everybody, read the definition of UTF-8 before making these
claims that it supports an encoding structure wider than 31 bits.  (And
please read the statements of WG2 and Unicode concerning expansion
beyond U+10FFFD.)

UTF-8 seems to have taken on a mystical quality whereby it can now
provide food for the starving, shelter for the homeless, etc.
