Q: How can I convert ISO 8859-1 characters to UTF-8 byte sequences without
implementing the full UTF-16 to UTF-8 algorithm?

A: Use the following table (or its trivial algorithmic equivalent). This method
will not work unless you are sure the input characters are really 8859-1.

        8859-1 characters UTF-8 bytes

        00 to 7F 00 to 7F
        80 to BF C2 80 to C2 BF
        C0 to FF C3 80 to C3 BF
