I think I asked this once before, and I apologize if I have missed
the response from you, but can you tell me a bit about the
modification you made?

The internal encoding of current Squeak is Unicode based, and it can
communicate with the external world in many variety of encodings,
including UTF-8.
Using exclusively UTF-8 (for the external encoding) will be too
limiting in many applications on many platforms. It is a good idea to
use a single internal representation, and Unicode is a compromization
today for this purpose (and Squeak uses it, too.) But there is no
good reason to limit the external encoding.
