I seriously doubt it but I turned it back on just because you sound like you honestly believe your words to be true. Let me know when you discover the real truth ... errrr ... and what the truth actually is. All I know for sure is that the level thingy is indeed bogus with respect to utf-8. I see the evidence everytime the ones who claim it to be valid actually try using it with utf-8 characters that don't fit their phoney-baloney 8-bit codepage.
It is doomed methinks. The Møøse and білка will back me up on this I am sure.
Life is good, Maurice
