Text encoded with ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8 is octets. If you want to use CChars, you should then subsequently convert the Word8s into CChars. Then I hope there is no C implementation where char is less than 8 bits long.
ANSI C guarantees that char is 1 byte (more precisely that "sizeof (char)" == 1). Manuel
