Re: utf-8

[Noah Levitt <nlevitt columbia edu>]

Use g_utf8_get_char_validated or g_utf8_get_char to get the
unicode character. You are looking at the byte values, which
are not generally useful.

If you are sure you want the UTF-8 bytes, you might want to
cast to guchar if you want the unsigned values.

gtk-list or gtk-app-devel-list would be better for this type
of question.
