Hi Ticker, yes, one byte at a time. Else we would need symbol width > 8, and Garmin doesn't use that for the unicode maps that I know.to I plan to contact the author of GPXsee, Martin Tůma. He seems to know much more than we do and maybe he is willing to help.

It works but is not a good compression. Ticker On Sun, 2022-01-16 at 19:16 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
Hi Ticker,
you seem to think that the encoder must understand what a codepoint is? I don't think so. The only important thing is that utf-8 still can use a single 0 to terminate strings.

Hi Gerd
More unicode problems: The data structures for the frequency analysis and then the list of chars to encode will all need attention.
