+ Another way to look at it, as bits:

+ Code Points                    1st Byte   2nd Byte  3rd Byte  4th Byte
+
+                    0aaaaaaa     0aaaaaaa
+            00000bbbbbaaaaaa     110bbbbb  10aaaaaa
+            ccccbbbbbbaaaaaa     1110cccc  10bbbbbb  10aaaaaa
+  00000dddccccccbbbbbbaaaaaa     11110ddd  10cccccc  10bbbbbb  10aaaaaa
+
+As you can see, the continuation bytes all begin with C<10>, and the
+leading bits of the start byte tell how many bytes the are in the
+encoded character.
