remember that a lot of fonts still have only 256 slots in them... some few have
 65535 slots and can hold a lot more character glyphs that the 256 slotted
ones... the full UTF-8 character set contains 2,097,152 characters and that may
 not even be everything...

this question and comments on stackoverflow may help...

de

then there's also this wikipedia page...

hope this helps some...
