Let me add, that this conversion seems to take place during string
input. No conversion happens, if the string "is really UTF-8":

IDL> a=['C3'xb,'AE'xb]
IDL> print,a
195 174
IDL> print,string(a)
î
IDL> print,byte(string(a))
195 174
IDL> b=['C4'xb,'83'xb]
IDL> print,string(b)
a
IDL> print,byte(string(b))
196 131

I hope, my news agent will choose the correct charset (UTF-8)! I'm not
sure.

Cheers, Heinz
