Variable width character sets are themselves hateful.  I'll go further
and say that they are a spectacularly stupid idea, and that whoever
decreed them needs shootin'.  Yes, being able to represent more than
220-odd characters is a Good Idea.  So damnit, just use 32-bit - or
64-bit - characters.  Then you'll be able to seek!
