utf-8

[Viveka Nathan K <vivek lantana tenet res in>]

Hi
  In Pango, the strings are stroed in the UTF-8 standard.  But, while i read the characters as integer, it gives some negative values. For example,  -32 -92 -107 is stored there for Devanagari 'ka'. This is the case for all the characters. How can I get the exact UTF-8 value ?   

I get the above values in Pango-context.c and shape.c

with regards
vivek
