Indeed, the C port API in inherently 8-bit. I don't know if it helps, but Guile-R6RS-Libs[*] provides limited UTF handling: guile> (use-modules (r6rs bytevector) (r6rs io ports)) guile> (define bv (get-bytevector-all (open-input-string "hello world"))) guile> (utf8->string bv) "hello world" It assumes that Guile strings are encoded in the current locale's 8-bit charset, though... Thanks, Ludovic. [*] http://repo.or.cz/w/guile-r6rs-libs.git
