You are exactly the sort of misguided person who is destroying UTF-8.

Please explain EXACTLY where the "N" comes from that you are passing to your "go to the Nth UTF-16 code point" function. Answer: it is calculated by looking at all the preceeding N-1 "characters" and therefore it is a misguided attempt to store an iterator in a integer, and that it can be trivially replaced by a real iterator that uses a byte offset or pointer.

You're just repeating what foom said in different words, I think.
