IIUC you can't assume a fixed size for a character even with UTF-32. In UTF-32 only _codepoints_ have fixed size, yet one character may be composed of several codepoints, e.g. a latin letter followed by a diacritical mark, making up one character (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character).

I stand corrected. This sort of the thing is the reason I start with disclaimers like, "I'm not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt." Anyhow, thanks for the info.
