UTF-8 is not the cause of that particular problem, it's caused by the Unicode 
committee being a committee. Other Unicode problems are caused by the committee 
trying to add semantic information to code points, which causes nothing but 
problems. I.e. the committee forgot that Unicode is a character set, and nothing 
more.
