vj#: In C#:

System.Text.UTF8Encoding utf8 = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
System.Text.Encoder encoder = utf8.GetEncoder()
encoder.GetBytes( char[] chars, int charIndex, int charCount, byte[] bytes,
bool flush )

In J#:
System.Text.UTF8Encoding utf8 = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
System.Text.Encoder encoder = utf8.GetEncoder()
encoder.GetBytes( char[] chars, int charIndex, int charCount, ubyte[] bytes,
bool flush )

Why ubyte[] in J# ?

(I had to implement the utf-8 rfc 3629 in plain old C++ to make it work with
my norwegian ØÆÅ. =:o) )

OK, I got it!! =:o)

The System.Text.UTF8Encoding does convert it accurately on the bit level.
I have implemented the UTF-8 RFC (in J# too) just to make sure, and we get
the same result.

The "problem" was with the last character in the utf-8 code. I got the same
letter for all ØÆÅ. It looks like all characters with bit 8 set print the
same letter in text.

But, it's working "under the hood". =:o)
