rb> Correct?

Actually there is 3 stages where the encodings are involved.

1. IOEncoding("UTF8") means that any string passed to/from V4REV will be
UTF8 encoded. Nothing more. In theory you could use any encoding here.
But due to the current Rev. unicode implementation, I think, it would be
UTF8 only.

2. Internally,  V4REV  uses  UTF16.
3. But  database could be saved as UTF16 encoding (implemented) so UTF8
   one (not implemented yet).


   Hope it would not make the things more hazy. :)
