Let me disagree. First, I know of no such thing as utf-8. Second, if
you mean utf8, legal codes are 0..MAX_UV (since the size of UV is
specific to Perl build, this depends on the build of Perl executable).
Some codes would not appear in Unicode strings; but one should be able
to treat "binary" data freely (including 0..31 and 0x80..0x9F ranges,
and other characters which have no Unicode-consortium-assigned
cultural information).
Thanks,
Ilya
