What an arrogant answer!
I read it like:
"You should have known that UTF8String was just introduced
to later make it incompatible to all system routines.
It was just there to irk programmers."

Why wasn't it mentioned before that you should not use it?
And what was the purpose of UTF8String (and what is it now)?

Again a very arrogant attitude.
I read it dozen of times but it is totally confusing and contradicting.

I see how "it works". Thank you.
