The code fix from #1343 was correct. I reverted the change in #1345, added more comments to clarify what is happening, and added tests for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-byte UTF8 characters.
Java uses one
char
for Unicode code points under 0xffff and two chars (with a leading high-surrogate code unit) for code points 0x10000 and higher, which correspond to the same number of "UTF-16 characters" in the Apple docs.
