Hi Chris,

I don't have an implementation ready.
But here a start for the research:
https://lemire.me/blog/2018/05/09/how-quickly-can-you-check-that-a-string-is-valid-unicode-utf-8/
Not Smalltalk, but a few approaches.

Is there any chance to do vectorized computation (using SIMD registers and
instructions) from Squeak? Can the JIT compiler generate such code?

Kind regards,
Jakob
