That is correct. By "portable" I meant that it works on the most popular
AWK implementations although I still need to test the script on a BSD
box. I'm not trying to reimplement setlocale or iconv. UTF-8 is easy to
parse, far saner than its predecessors (IMO) and conveniently happens to
be the only encoding other "C" that I use on my machines.
