When you type you generate a single byte for each character. That's all
fine for serbian and brazilian and mexican, but when you come to korean
or japanese or chinese you hit a brick wall. These latter languages need
2 bytes per character. Gtk2 applications require the use of utf8, which
is 2 bytes per character on non-ascii letters.

So how do you know if you are doing utf8? The simple way is to use an
editor that saves documents in utf8 like gedit (Chema, why in earth jump
out of a flying airplane?).
