Got it now. This is the critical piece I missed: I understand the 
relations between the char types and the UTF encodings (thanks to 
your book). But I mistakenly thought that the string types were 
different.

I did not try this test -- my bad.

The terminating null character was one of the reasons I thought 
strings were different from char arrays. Now I know better.

Thank you for these clarifications.
