I don't think this is technically correct, is it? UTF8 is an *encoding*
for unicode; it covers the same symbols while retaining compatibility with
standard ASCII (special prefixes flag long characters). Or am I wrong, is
Unicode16 a subset of the unicode char set?
In any case, since they are merely different encodings of the char set, I
don't think it matters which KGI/GGI uses. In particular, it is probably
a Very Good Thing for all EvStack tokens to be the same length, a la
standard unicode, instead of the variable length tokens of UTF8.
