Just to make the string instance work, it is enough to ignore encoding and return only ascii bytes as chars or change bytes 128--255 to a replacement ascii char (i.e. '?').

I don't think it's really any better than using Char8.unpack. Depending on the actual encoding you'll get variously broken results either way. Cheers, Ganesh
