I see, but I fail to see the sense of providing two different UTF8
code variants for the same unicode character.
Probably because different kinds of string processing can work more
efficiently with one or the other encoding. Anyway, why it is the case
is moot: the fact is that this is possible (regardless of whether you
use UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32) and therefore you have to deal with it
when you use unicode.
