er, UTF-8 *is* multibyte ;)
Well, technically, yes...but not the way people usually mean it (16-bit
chars like Java).
However, using UTF-8 should be OK, alright, since UTF-8 multibyte
sequences must contain bit 7 set in all chars, so "\n" and ":" will
not
show up as bytes. viz:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8
notes 'no ASCII byte (0x00-0x7F) can appear as part of any other
character.'
Exactly.
