   CHRS: UTF8 4   
   Hey Nancy!   
      
   Here are 4 utf8 characters that all contain a trailing 0x81 byte:   
   Á Ё с Ӂ   
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x83 byte:   
   Ã σ Ѓ у   
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x88 byte:   
   È ψ Ј ш   
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x8d byte:   
      
       
       
       
      
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x8f byte:   
   Ï ď Џ я   
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x90 byte:   
   Ð Ő А ѐ   
      
   These 4 all contain a trailing 0x98 byte:   
   Ø Ř И ј   
      
   Finally, these 4 all contain a trailing 0x9d byte:   
   Ý ŝ Н ѝ   
      
   I believe they cover all the holes in CP1250, CP1251 and CP1252.  If my hunch   
   was correct then the charaters with trailing 0x81, 0x8d, 0x8f, 0x90 and 0x9d   
   should end up with their trailing bytes stripped and therefore no longer be   
   valid utf8 characters.  If only the ones with 0x8d get their trailing bytes   
   stripped then it is likely mark's hunch about the end of line is most likely   
   correct.  If none of them get stripped of their trailing bytes then ?!?!?!?!?!   
      
   Life is good,
