Why is it utf8 from the client? I would have expected unicode to be
the "native" language of the console (you already understand it for
output)?
How many different multibyte charsets are there? I think it is a
reasonable rule to assume that any random eightbit charset is a
unibyte charset, i.e. one byte = one character = one glyph (modulo
control characters). And then make utf8 an exception to that rule, and
perhaps one could handle one or two additional charsets as
exceptional.
