1) Is the text in a text-edit field with System font /always/ UTF8 encoded
No.
(or, for example, can the user's selected locale or host OS change that)?
It might.
2) How can I get the underlying bytes in a UTF8 string (for example,
to transmit them)?
You already have them. If, for example, by "transmit" you mean via a
socket, then MySocket.Write theString transmits the bytes.
I can get the byte count using LenB, but then I'm stuck. Do I use
Asc or AscB on each character and expect an integer value that will
take 1, 2, 3, or 4 bytes to represent, or is there a better way?
I don't understand the question. Why do you want the numeric values
of the bytes or characters? Why not just transmit the string?
Best,
