remember that a lot of fonts still have only 256 slots in them... some few have
65535 slots and can hold a lot more character glyphs that the 256 slotted
ones... the full UTF-8 character set contains 2,097,152 characters and that may
not even be everything...

this question and comments on stackoverflow may help...

then there's also this wikipedia page...
