   remember that a lot of fonts still have only 256 slots in them... some few have   
    65535 slots and can hold a lot more character glyphs that the 256 slotted   
   ones... the full UTF-8 character set contains 2,097,152 characters and that may   
    not even be everything...   
      
   this question and comments on stackoverflow may help...   
      
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10229156/how-many-characters-can-utf-8-enco   
   de   
      
   then there's also this wikipedia page...   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8   
      
   hope this helps some...
