/*
 Suggested UTF-8 terminology for this file:
 
 ?? "length" is the number of characters in a string
 ?? "size" is the number of bytes
 ?? "index" is the position in a string in number of characters
 ?? "offset" is the position in a strin in bytes (and must be kept on a charater boundary)
 (there seems to be no standard in Uncode documents, howevere "length" is commonly
 referencing the number of bytes. Maybe "bytes" and "glyphs" would be the most
 obvious way to describe sizes?)
 
 "character size" is the size of a UTF-8 character in bytes
 "character width" is the width of a Unicode character in pixels
 
 "column" was orginally defined as a character offset from the left margin. It was
 identical to the byte offset. In UTF-8, we have neither a byte offset nor
 truly fixed width fonts. Column could be a pixel value multiplied with
 an average character width (which is a bearable approximation).
