Encoding and decoding into what?  UTF-8 is 7-bit ascii if you delete
the high bit.  If you need another encoding, we're working on that.
Currently, Unicode is Greek to Squeak, so it won't do you much good to
decode UTF-8 into UCS-2 or UCS-4.  You'll just be stuck with lots of
numbers.

When proper multilingual support is finished, then UTF-8 transfer will
be a no-brainer, along with conversion from a variety of encodings to
a variety of others.

Probably an optimistic request, but has anyone got a stream or filter
for encoding/decoding UTF8 encoded streams?
