Keep using readLine. The entire line should be made of valid UTF8 characters.

Maybe something to do about it would be to add getUTF8char, getUTF16char and 
getUTF32char, which would return char[], wchar[] and dchar, respectively, the 
first one returning an array of 1 to 4 elements, and the second 1 or 2.
