Thanks for spotting that bug (Bug squad, can you please open a bug report for
this!).
It's actually simpler than using utf-16be. All that is needed is to use escape
sequences instead of the accented characters. E.g. I would need to use "\362"
instead of "ò".
Unfortunately, I haven't found a scheme/guile method to create those escape
sequences from a utf8 string (I don't even know exactly which escape sequences
these are! At least they are none of the usual utf8 representations).
Cheers,
Reinhold
