That agrees with the results I get on http://www.macchiato.com/unicode/convert.html.

  Sorry, I erred in my attempt to clean up the page by editing it prior to sending it.

  Attached here is the actual page output, including the leading "2002fifa" ascii characters that were also RACE encoded as part of the registered name, as well as the Hangul ... as usual, the computer is right, the human screwed up.

    I believe that result is incorrect. The RACE has 48 bytes, so 44 bytes of Base32. That translates to 44 * 5 bits = 220 bits, or 27 bytes of compressed UTF-16. That must represent *at least* 13 UTF-16 characters, but the enclosed file only has 5 Hangul Syllables. If that was generated programmatically, the program is wrong.

      Here's the UTF-8 encoding of the Hangul (attached)
